SOME OF Thornhill Juniors Grade 8-10 band students at a recent rehearsal. Concert helps band meet travel costs IT SOUNDS like a great way to spend a fall even- ing. You'll get to listen to live music performed in a beauliful setting the Skeena Valley Golf anc Country Club — and you'll be able to indulge your sweel tooth. But most of all, you’ll be helping out a bunch of young musicians who are all hoping to head to Vic- toria in April as part of a high school band ex- change. Thornhill Juniar’s ‘award-winning high schoo! bands perform a dessert concert Nov. 15. Musical selections range from music from the movies to concert pieces. The school’s two concert bands, the jazz band and the brass quintet will all perform. It’s a fundraising event, instructor Mike Wen says. Between 40 and 50 stu- dents hope to make the bus trip to Victoria, That works out to combined tra- vel expenses of $25,000. In February, a group of band students from Rey- nolds Secondary School are coming to Terrace. While they’re here, they’ll perform joint concerts with Thornhill Junior for the public and at elementary schools. “And they really want to go skiing,” Wen adds. In April, Thornhill Ju- nior’s band students return the favour. Students will also attend include music workshops at the Univers- ity of Victoria. “We're also looking at getting into the provincial legislature and performing there,” Wen says. The stu- dents are also planning a side trip to Vancouver, where they may take in an evening at the symphony. Legion News Charity donations among the awards night highlights By CMDE PETER CROMPTON ON SATURDAY, Oct. 26, there was plenty to celebrate at the Terrace branch of the Roya! Canadian Legion. The Bob Bennett family gathered in the lounge to celebrate Cmde. Bob’s 80th birthday. They joined in, with the branch, which was having its annual honours and awards night. Two of Bob’s sons, Terry and Bruce, were presented with their 25 and 20 year pins. There were a number of other high- lights throughout the evening, none more than the awarding of $21,600 to some 25 charitable organizations around Terrace. Each organization had a representative there to receive the donations — which varied from $500 to as high as $1,500. Standing ovations were given to Ann Kohl as she received her 50-year pin from Ladies’ Auxiliary president Marg Cooper and to Goldie Hill for her 52-years service to the Ladies Auxiliary and Branch 113. Linda Fisher received the highest award that can be given to someone who is not a member of the Legion: the Meri- torious Service Award. Linda has worked hard for both the La- dies’ Auxiliary and the Branch. The kit- chen would appear to be Linda’s second home, as she has headed up the kitchen crew for many years, serving steak nights, velerans dinners, birthday parties, New Years dances and funeral receptions. Cmde. Peter Crompton was taken by complete surprise when he was called forward to receive the Meritorious Ser- vice Medal, the highest award given to a legion member. Don’t forget: we have our meat raffles every Saturday. The first draw is at 4:30 | p.m. Our steak nights are still the first Fri- . day of the month.

We are not ready to shut the doors just yet — but we need the members’ input, new ideas and atten- dance at meetings and functions. As members, your participation is nee- ded to keep us operating and supporting our community. Our organization has been part of this community since 1919.
