| THE SET-UP |
 |
| Confederation Secondary
School's Famous Evolutionary Band closed out their 2006-2007 season with a
spectacular OUTDOOR CONCERT in the parking lot of the Hanmer Valley Shopping
Centre on Saturday June 2, 2007. Above, Music Director,
Norm McIntosh is shown supervising the set up of the stage and backdrop.
Each of the more than 25 members of the band have specific jobs to do in
order to get everything ready for the performance. Brenda Stobo, publicity
director for the band is with Norm helping out with last-minute
preparations. |
 |
| Once the truck was unloaded it was "all hands on
deck" lifting the stage into place. The whole set up process takes
approximately two hours, including a pre-concert rehearsal and warm-up. |
 |
| |
| IT'S SHOW TIME!!!!! |
| |
 |
| A few minutes after two o'clock in the afternoon, the
clouds disappeared and the sun came out as if on cue as the lead singers,
Veronica Ranger, Katelynn Stamplecoski, Courtney Tattersall and Samantha
Christiansen lead the "Evolutionary Team" onto the stage to begin a set that lasted almost an hour and a
half. It was the beginning of one of the most memorable performances
this town has ever seen. |
 |
| This concert provided
an opportunity for an estimated 600 people to see these
talented young performers in action. Some remained for
the entire show, while others watched for 20 minutes or
so under the hot mid-day sun. |
 |
| Evolutionary has performed
underground setting a Guinness World Record and they are
going to be the subject of a major film documentary,
some of the footage which was filmed during the concert. |
 |
|
This band has inspired students throughout the
region to improve their reading and develop a positive
attitude towards things such as anti-bullying and
literacy. |
 |
| All who saw the concert were absolutely
impressed with the professionalism displayed by the
students who performed non-stop for almost 90 minutes on
one of the hottest, most humid days of the year. |
 |
| The high-energy concert was action-packed from start to
finish as one of the lead singers, Courtney Tattersall belted out song after song, jumping and dancing
her way across the hot pavement to the delight of the appreciating
audience. Courtney demonstrated to all in attendance that this is one
young lady with tremendous talent who loves to be on
"center-stage". |
 |
| Despite the tremendous heat of one of the most humid days
of the summer, the performers continued this extremely torrid pace right
to the end. In this photo you can see in the background, from the
left, Katelynn Stamplcoski, Veronica Ranger, Samantha Christiansen while
Courtney Tattersall dances in front performing one of their action-packed
songs. On the stage we have Vicky Little on guitar and Jessica
Cardinal on the drums. |
 |
| One of the last songs of the day saw Courtney Tattersall
and Samantha Christiansen giving their best performances of the afternoon,
despite being almost completely exhausted from the heat. Katelynn
Stamplcoski and Veronica Ranger are seated with their backs to the camera. |
 |
| Above, Veronica Ranger, Samantha Christiansen, Courtney
Tattersall, and Katelynn Stamplecoski are shown during one of their
quieter moments for a change of pace. |
 |
| Jessica Cardinal did a solo demonstration of how talented
she is on the drums. This delighted the audience. |
 |
| Norm McIntosh spent the entire performance assisting Megann
Decaire and Alex Tkachuck on the sound
board, making sure that the music was perfect for the venue, which was one
of the few outdoor concerts every performed by Evolutionary. Together they made sure that
the sound produced by the members of the band was spectacular. Stephanie
Kirkbride, Stage Crew Manager can be seen in the background behind Norm. Stephanie is
the manager of the all-important stage crew who make sure that the performers are
working in the best conditions possible. |

 |
| Renee Lefebvre, on the left, and Ron Roy, both of Action

| |
| THE BIG FINISH.... |
 |
| The end of the concert came all too quickly for the
hundreds of fans who were watching. Much to the delight of the audience,
Courtney Tattersall "let it all out" closing out the show with
some of the most high-energy performances of the afternoon.
Accompanying Courtney on the horns were Danielle Kennedy, Maria
Manoloudakis, Bayleigh Rowlands, and Harlee Niemi. |
|
 |
| Norm McIntosh was pleased with the show and was very proud
of the way Confed's Evolutionary Band was able to withstand the heat and
conditions to deliver one of their most impressive shows of the season.
For Norm, it marked the end of another long, exhausting, and yet most
satisfying school year working with some truly remarkable young men and
women who came through in the crunch time after time all year long. |
 |
| For the performers, this has been a very special year that
they will never forget. Playing the instruments, from the left are:
Jennifer Kirkbride, Lindsey Brassard, Perry Willey, Nathen Simpson, Kyle
Constantineau, Danelle Kennedy, Julia MacEachern. Sitting on the stage,

time. |
