After almost two years of construction, the new Band Room at R.D. Parker Collegiate will hold its Grand Opening tomorrow.

According to the Band Director at the high school Kevin Lewis, the initial proposal for the band room expansion was put forward more than 20 years ago by then-Director Bob Miller along with Keith Derksen, the Facilities Manager for the School district of Mystery Lake.

Ground broke for the project in February 2023 and, over time, the scope of the project moved beyond the band room itself and expanded to renovating the full envelope of the school, along with some electrical and mechanical upgrades to the main building.

Everyone is welcome to attend the grand opening beginning at 5 pm tomorrow with opening speeches and a blessing.

That will be followed by musical performances at 5:30 and cake and refreshments at
6 p.m.
