On the Lisgar CI senior music night‚ the four music ensembles performed their favourite pieces for an audience of parents and students. I attended to critique the performance of the Senior Jazz Band. The band‚ conducted by Mr. Arrigo‚ looked sharp as almost all members were wearing full black concert dress.
