responsibility the school should assume Musics strength shown at first Show of year By MliRIEI LEEIER The first big show of the year by Harrie North Collegiates Junior Grade 10 and Concert Bands tells the story of the strength of the music program at the school An inherent vibrant en thusiasm shines through the playing of the Collegiate students Sharon Sibthorpc director clearly claims the loyalties and respect of classes and from this plateau she teaches and directs them well Unfortunately was only able to attend the second half of the program and this excluded the Junior Band No doubt as in the past they have already come long way this year in becoming familiar with their instruments and playing as group The Grade 10 Band played trio of pieces that were studies in musical contrasts The rather blatant llmndcrcrest by hildren It was The Great White Wolf who stole the show at the Littles Hill Players Red Riding Hood last night Dwight Hesson was mag nificiently huge and fearsome Wolf The children who filled good part of the downstairs sec tion of Georgian Theatre en joyed the frightening monstrous roar of the Wolf with false teeth What touch of fan tasy The title role was uite effec tively carried off by hris Krol Somewhat restrained at first Miss Krol became more lively as the play developed She looked charming and quite like Red Riding Hood of the fairy tale should look The trio who added humor and song to the show were Terry Arnold as Bert Blunder buss John lrwin as Walter the Woodsman and Dave Lalonde as lovable Harry Hounddog charming introduction with alstagesetting peopled by title sterling was followed by pleasing The Twelfth of Never arranged by Balent and concluded with bright Toc cata for Band by Erickson Intonation was generally in secuw but no doubt by the end of the academic year should be much improved Even at this point however the musicality of the brass and woodwind instruments could bear more stressing little more color range between the very loud and very soft would bring much more sustained in terest into the music This could have been carried out quite successfully within the group of pieces performed by the Concert Band These young people just back from tour are playing quite well Now they need more subtlety in their performances and less large open sounds The brass instruments are capable of such beautiful sounds but only rarely was this aspect emphasized What pity that these young people were not present as great body to listen to the elegant and superb London Gabrielle Brass It would have been lesson of inestimable value Gershwins Symphonic Por trait for Concert Band ar ranged by hasc lacked the detail and musical subtleties that would have made it quite memorable However the dedicated work of these young people shows very obviously to the audience But the continuous stretching and striving for perfection is what art and music is all about And this where that inner satisfaction is reached Bravo North Concert Band for the in dication of the heights you will reach by the end of the aca demic year enjoy fantasy play animals set the scene for the scary fairytale Enjoying the whole play dressed in their animal costumes were Julie and Michelle DAmbrosio Kim Irwin Rob Campbell and Gor die Gow Any adult at the show had on ly to look around at the rapt ex pressions on the children wat ching to appreciate just how well it was put together How the small ones enjoyed the fiercelooking wolf And how they became involved in the songs by the Woodsman the Hounddog and Bert Blun derbuss The clock that went wild as it tried to tell Red Riding Hood something was splendid touch of fairytale As for Harry Hounddog Was there ever more stupid lovable amusing and inept canine Surely the scene of the farmer Great White Wolf making cake for Red Riding Hood was one of real delight for the little ones They laughed in all the right places They were completely absorbed when Grandma played by Heather MacLean was trying to catch the wolf However Heather MacLeans voice was slightly shrill and would be better itched lower The diction woul be clearer to the little people too Producer Tony Gilsenan and director Irene Nicowski put an appealing show to ether Lighthearted yet frig tening enough for the youn ones to really enjoy Red Ri ing Hood should attract hundreds more children from the city Musical director Maril Campbell can always counted on to come up with good pacing She helped to keep the show moving Assistant director was Meg ODonal and stage manager Graham Al lary
