About Terry Fox Music
At the grade 9 level, no experience is necessary and all students interested in singing or learning an instrument are encouraged to join us. Most students chose to take Concert Band and Choir as 9th or 10th courses on top of their to their 8 class load, as they get so much fun, meaning, and community from being a part of the classes! All Terry Fox Music courses are credited class that are used towards graduation. If you are new to Terry Fox Concert band and Choir, answers to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are here!

Concert Band
The Terry Fox Concert Band explores all types of instrumental music from movie soundtracks, to art songs, to folk music. Concert Band meets at the end of the day (Block E) every other day (on day 2s) all year.
We have instruments available for students to use, or students can provide their own. There are lots of reasons to play this type of instrumental music - fun, connection, and community are key reasons, especially in this time of COVID-19 and beyond!
Playing/studying more structured types of music and reading sheet music has also been link to higher achievement in math and science. Playing in a Terry Fox Concert Band can also be used as credit for the BC Government's school daily physical activity requirement. Check us out on YouTube by clicking the icon above! We look forward to making some music with you!
