News and Updates
"Recordings" section added
You spoke, and we listened. During a recent Music Council general meeting, it was brought up that it may be difficult to find previous performance recordings (like Silver Band at York University) without the link on the home page.
To deal with this, a new section for Recordings has been added. There is now a link in the navigation menu below the header:
Silver Band at York University and Gold Band at OBA
Performance recordings for these two prize-winning ensembles can be found on this web site. They can be downloaded (high quality or 128 kbps) from:
- Silver Band at the York University Grade 10 Band Festival and Concert
- Gold Band at the Ontario Band Association Festival
Course information updated and Grade 8 FAQ added
During this critical time of year when courses for the upcoming school year are selected, some guidance for Grade 8 students/parents and specific course descriptions, have been added to our web site.
The Grade 8 Frequently Asked Questions encompasses issues such as the choice of an instrument, whether or not Experienced Band is suitable for the student, and so on.
The Courses page now provides improved descriptions that name prerequisites.
MP3 download button graphics created
I've created a few new buttons that will be shown when downloading an MP3 file from our web site. Some of the best examples of its use include the Music Backgrounds page in the Resources section. Take a look at the buttons:
