COLLINS HIGH SCHOOL BAND The F. H. Collins high school band came to Cas- siar on December 13. The 50 piece band was ona tour in southern Yukon and northern B.C. Cassiar was the last stop before it headed back to White- horse. The majority of the players were in the brass section with a bass player and about 2 or 3 in the Percussion. The evening started withthe national anthem and then a medley of some well known Christmas car- ols. After a few mofe numbers, which included a superb rendition of the song “Peg’’, originally by Steely Dan, the band took a break while the jazz. band came on. The jazz band was part of the band itself, and it treated the audience to some very fine jazz music. After a 10 minute intermission the audience was treated with a few more tunes and some more Christmas carols. It played another big band piece (a song from the New Orleans area, the same one’ in the. James Bond Movie “‘Live or Let Die’’) after a standing ovation and showers of encores. The band was conducted by Mr. Eric Taynen. Hopefully we will be seeing them again next year.
