Eight students in the Chinook’s Edge School Division had an opportunity to play in the Alberta Wind Symphony in Edmonton from Oct.23-26, 2024.
The symphony acts as the honour band for Alberta and is comprised of high school musicians from across the province. In order to participate, students had to pass an audition.
“The Alberta Symphony is an exciting opportunity for band students,” said Alex Hutcheon, band teacher at Cremona School. “It gives them a challenge, and exposure to different music and a different conductor so it broadens their horizons. Also, students have the opportunity to represent their school and our school division, and connect with students from all over the province who also share a love for music. I am really proud of all of our students who were able to participate.”
Of the symphony’s more than 85 musicians, eight are from Chinook’s Edge, specifically Didsbury High School, Cremona School, and Sundre High School.
