The Sask Valley Music Festival handed out their awards to the top performers at their Awards Concert on Sunday night in Waldheim. Several students were invited to perform again, including Chorale who performed "Deep River."
RJC students were recognized for outstanding performances throughout the festival. The top three awards were presented to Nicole Brockman, piano (top instrumental performer), Ryan Epp (top vocal performer) and Concert Choir (top choir.) As well, Chorale was nominated to compete in the National Festival, and will send a recording on to the next level of competition. Congratulations all!

Another successful and exciting Guys and Pies fundraiser in the Rehearsal Hall on Sunday evening raised money for the program at Rosthern Junior College. A Bunch of Guys (directed by Russ Regier) and the RJC ManChoir (directed by Richard Janzen) performed while a large group of around 250 people enjoyed coffee and pies. The cake auction brought in thousands of dollars. Thank you to all volunteers and generous supporters!
