did rowdy lrish Songs sad Irish songs modern country innsic an English ballad or two and even some tongueinchccl rock and roll Jim Croccs Lee Roy Browni With the execution of couple of the country numbers sung by Bob Lewis which were bit muudlin the band perform cd each song to technical per tcction The only factor to indicate where the band should concen trate its ability is the enjoy ment of the performers The band members especially singer Fred White and accordionist Shamus Crew seemed to enjoy doing the DESllTE uncooperative wea thct tiurc was iumly full house for the Carlton Show Bonds

band lt is the concert band which will be on tour in Nova Scotia for one week Iiring the March break The collegiatestage was filled with students mtl mic smised good feeling of rapport among the musicians and affection and respect for director Sharon Siov thorpc The Juniors had some prob lems with their music technicol ly and also with intonation But Two years ago he teamed up rollicking Irish songs such as the show opener Rileys Daugh ter Rileys Daughteris about scrape only an Irishman can get into with his wifes father and allows for lots of footstomping and whooping The audience seemed to en joy the rowdier Irish songs more after all thats probably what most people came to hear so it seems logical the band should stay in that vein There is still an untapped supply of Irish folk songs and ballads which could make use of the voices of lead singer Mike Fecncy and Lewis Another direction is suggest ed by Sean McMonus who wrote and sang Harpers Ferry which was recently released as single and appears on the groups latest album Harpers Ferry could be described as historical ballad but it maintains rollicking beat while telling story in tradition al ballad form Sponsored by the Knights of Columbus the band played variety of music ranging from rollicking Irish songs to some this is to be expacted at their stage in their uncut Nevertheless liey put on quite creditable performance play ing with serious dedication and attention to dcil lbc llansel and Gretal Overture had both high points and low points with the high points predominating giving good overol

local rally is one in ser ies of coasttocoast meetings The versatility of the band was demonstrated by performance of Amazing Grace with Grew and McManus on accordion White and Lewis on electric guitar Chris McLaughlin handling voc als Feeney backing him up and of course Chris OToole provid ing percussion accompaniment The Carleton Show Band isnt the Clancy Brothers but the groups rendition of some Irish songs rivals the Clancy Broth ers However as long as the band continues its swing to wards country and western it will lose its traditional Irish fans The type of performance typified Sunday will always keep the band in the class of playing to small audiences solid dir ection be it country rock or Irish would give the talent pres ent in the Carlton Show Band chance to become known inter nationally modern rock and roll The Knights hope to make the bands appearance an annual event Examiner Photo trated but also within the cap abilities of students On the oth er hand the First Movement of Mozarts minor Symphony ex posed the technical abilities of the students too well or rather the lack of exceptional technique because Mozart demands techni que of the high2st calibre It was performed by North Wind Ensemble but one could only wish to hear it played by the National Ats Orchestra This is excellent music for the students to study but difficult for performance The version of the Lerner Locwes My Fair Lady by cou trast succeeded The music it self is easy to understand and the students picked up the rhyth mic patterns passing on to the audience their joy in playing the familier melodies The Barrie North Bands have added considerably to the edu cational outlets at the Collegi ate It balances the opportuni ies offered in the field of sports giving musical students marvel lous advantages of broadening their knowledge and abilities
