St. John’s College Concert Band - under the direction of Jamie Marriott
The SJC Concert Band is made up of students from grades 9 – 12. They have a few members who have been playing for 4 years, and these students offer their expertise and guidance to the newest members who only just started learning how to play their instruments in September. The group rehearses once a week under the direction of Mrs. Jamie Marriott. They played four Christmas concerts in December, and are preparing for upcoming festivals in Hamilton and Simcoe later this month. The band hopes to maintain or improve their results from last year’s festivals, in which they received a Silver standing at both the Regional and National level. The SJC Concert Band is grateful for the opportunity to play for you tonight. The members hope that you enjoy the selections which they have selected.
Jamie Marriott, conductor of the band, has been teaching music at St. John's College for 12 years. Jamie completed her Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Education at the University of Western Ontario in London. She is a wife and a mother of two beautiful girls who keep her entertained when she isn't working.
