The instrumental band at MacLeod's Landing PS received a Platinum award at the Kiwanis Music Festival and is heading to Nationals later this year.
Led by Deborah Kaye, the instrumental band practices at least eight hours a week and plays a variety of genres including pop, concert jazz and classic rock. They use creative touches such as rhythmically banging on music stands with pencils.
They also recently received an Applause award at the York Region District School Board public Board meeting.
