Feb 14 2019Congratulations to our Jazz Band for winning GOLD at the Kiwanis Jazz Festival yesterday. The band wowed the judges with a variety of swing, rock and funk music. The judges were highly impressed by the quality of soloists and the “great maturity” in the styles played by the rhythm section. Well done Jazz Band!

And now… Your Highlander Report (crafted by Mr. Ros).
Top billing goes to our Grade 8 girls basketball team as this plucky squad dropped a hammer on a bewildered Moscrop squad from Burnaby yesterday. It was a whole team effort in the 42-36 win! Our your Highlanders have now advanced to Vancouver District Semi-Final action in Richmond tonight. Good Luck Girls!
Next up… Another potential team of the year as our Junior Girls Basketball squad starts play at the Lower Mainland Tournament today @ 4:30pm. The game is at Argyle – Good luck to our Junior Highlanders!
Finally, Kudos to the Senior Boys Basketball team who opened the Howe Sound 4A playoffs with a big 78-52 win over Carson Graham last night. The Eagles threw the kitchen sink at your Highlanders but the boys showed great resolve and battled away.. Fine performances by all… especially “smiling” James Core and “Baby Face” Callum Dye. Next up the Handsworth Royals – Tuesday @7:30 at Handsworth. Bring your Plaid Power Boys!
