Harmonie Cadette Davignon
Duet in Grade 6
This is the very first concert band I joined. It is an extra-curricular band offered to students in grades 4 to 6. Rehearsals are on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school from 4-5:30. On Thursdays, we had sectionals with students from l'Académie de Musique Massey-Vanier. I was a member from Grade 4 to 6. I played clarinet for two years and flute for one year.

Grade 11 Christmas Concert Small Ensemble.
After doing three years of band in elementary school, I decided to go into the music concentration program at my high school. From Grades 7 to 11, I played in concert bands, jazz bands, and choirs. Every year, we played many concerts and participated in a few competitions and festivals. In 2008 when I graduated, I won two awards; MusicFest Canada 2008 National Honour Award and a bursary from l'Académie de Musique Massey-Vanier for continuing in music in CEGEP.
