Band students performed a varied repertoire of music selections while the school interior was transformed into an art gallery for the event. Under the able direction of Ken Nelson, KJSS band teacher, the Grade 6, 7 and 8 band students demonstrated considerable talent while playing numerous pieces ranging from La Bamba to Baroque. For the KJSS band this was the culmination of several recent public appearances including Spokane’s Junior Lilac Festival Parade, Castlegar’s Sunfest Parade and Cran- brook’s Sam Steele Days. Adding pizazz to several band selections was the KISS Pom Pom Team. This hard-working group of girls moved smoothly through a num- ber of routines, adding an eye- catching display to the music. Hats off to Suzette Bouchard, choreographer -for the group, and teacher Clara Gerrand, responsible for the overall leadership of the team. The other portion of the evening was given over to a superlative ar- twork display coordinated by KJSS teacher Robert Cacchioni. Technique, style and talent were evident throughout, with 700 selections of art taken from all three grades at the school. With audience enthusiasm mat- ching that which was displayed by the KISS students during the Fine Arts night, it is easy to see why KJSS is the school with spirit.
