Iintroducing CDS Soul Band
Introducing CDS Soul Band: a brand new music extracurricular with a funky twist. Led by Mr. Barbanchon, this band combines vocal and instrumental talent to perform songs by the likes of Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Amy Winehouse. Every Thursday, the band gets together to rehearse their repertoire. They work on stylization while balancing their unique sounds and rhythms. They also practice their soloing and improvisation skills. Their upbeat music can be heard from outside of the rehearsal room and they have received positive feedback from students and teachers who happen to be passing by.
This musical opportunity allows students to express themselves through a genre of music that they would not have been able to otherwise. Students are able to connect with others who have similar music taste. They get to experience being in a small band and all that it comes with, including knowing the nuances of their instrument, learning and practicing music independently, and collaborating with bandmates. With each rehearsal, they become more confident with the style and repertoire. Most importantly, students have fun making music together.
The CDS Soul Band hopes to perform throughout the school year, and maybe even do a gig outside of school. We cannot wait to see what this band does next!
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
