High School Band Program Update

We are grateful to share that the Lord has recently provided us with a Middle and High School Band teacher for the 2025-2026 school year, Ms. Alexis Summers. Ms. Summers is a highly qualified teacher with the following degrees and experience:

  • A Bachelor of Arts in Music from Trinity Western University
  • A Master of Music in Clarinet Performance from the University of Manitoba
  • Experience as a Masterclass Clinician for Percussion and Woodwinds
  • 15 years of experience teaching private music lessons

As Ms. Summers will be able to begin for the fall semester, we are happy to be able to offer an updated course selection form for students in high school who were very interested in continuing their band experience. We will offer the following courses:

  • Band 9/10 – For Grade 9 and 10 students
    • This would replace their previous selection of Infotech/Computer Studies 9/10, Art 9/10, or Drama 9/10.
  • Jazz Band – This will run only if there are enough students to form a proper band.
    • This is for students in Grades 10-12 who are interested in further developing their musical skills and using them to serve the community through a variety of small performances as Ms. Summers sees fit and is able to arrange.

If these courses are of interest to you and your child going into Grades 9-12 in 2025-2026, we ask that you have your child complete the linked Google Form no later than Wednesday, June 18, 2025 so we can update our course selections for next fall.

Note: The form will work only with your child’s MRCS email address. Please do not use a parent email address to complete the form.

We praise God for His wonderful provision in this way. Ms. Summers is very excited to join our MRCS community.
