On April 13, Greenwood students and staff participated in the annual CIS Ontario Music Festival.
For almost 40 years, the Conference of Independent Schools (CIS) Ontario has held an annual music festival to showcase the musical and vocal talents of participating CIS Ontario schools. This year, the CIS Ontario’s Music Festival featured over 1,400 students and educators from 39 participating schools around the Ontario region. Performers from each participating school rehearsed together on numerous occasions to perfect their pieces.

On April 13, the audience filled up Roy Thomson Hall to watch the choir and orchestral performances. Representing Greenwood were Evan Edgell ‘24, Mel Edgell ‘25, Henry Farr ‘25 and Ms. Newman. Evan ‘24 and Mel ‘25 sang with the choir performance while Ms. Newman conducted. Henry ‘25 played the trumpet as part of the orchestra. 

Well done to Evan ‘24, Mel ‘25, Henry ‘25 and Ms. Newman for taking part and representing Greenwood at the CIS Ontario Music Festival!
