OKM Senior Combo Patio Gigs
Live music is back! We are beyond excited to see live music starting to open back up across the province. While we are unfortunately able to hold any concerts for our larger bands or invite families into OKM to watch groups perform, we were lucky enough to land 3 patio gigs for our grade 12 combo!

Jamming with the Pros!
Dan Austin from Guelph Collegiate created the opportunity for students from across Canada to perform with one of Canada's top rhythm sections! Jodi Proznick (bass), Amanda Tosoff (piano), Ernesto Cervini (drums), Mike Rud (guitar) and Dan McCarthy (vibes) laid down the tracks to Autumn Leaves and left space for students to record themselves playing the head and a solo. What a cool opportunity! OKM Grade 12 student, Francisco Rubio Bocangel, participated and his video turned out fantastic! Thanks to everyone involved in this project and thanks to Francisco for taking it on. Well done!
Covid-19 Virtual Jazz Band Performances
When Covid-19 shut down our schools, we knew that as a program we wanted to try to experiment with finding different ways to keep making music together. The Virtual Bands were born! These were extremely challenging projects. Each of the students in these bands recorded in their individual part on their phone at home to a rehearsal track I made. Then all of the audio and video was edited into one "virtual" performance. The goal was to learn the new skill of playing/recording to a click track, but most importantly the goal was to stay connected making music together. Thanks to all the students that put in the hard work of submitting a recording for these projects. You all amaze me every day!
