A CONCERT TO CELEBRATE AN ERA – GREG EDWARDS ALUMNI GALA
After 30 years of teaching in the St. James Assiniboia school division, Mr. Edwards has made the difficult decision to pass on his baton. The question then arises, how do you say goodbye? Do you fade out like a dying light bulb or appear in the sky like a firework set oM in celebration? If you know anything about Mr. Edwards, he's not the fade-out type.
After years of bumping into alumni across the city, there arose a common theme. All of them, at some point in conversation with Mr. Edwards, would bring up the fact that they truly miss making music. They miss being actively involved in the construction of musical excellence. So, from these interactions, an idea was born to create a unique opportunity to relive those musical experiences.
Our aim is to get as many alumni as possible back together for one last epic concert featuring alumni from a quarter-of-a-century residency at Westwood Collegiate and reaching all the way back to his time at Silver Heights in the mid 90s and Bruce Middle School in the late 90's.
Using his little slice of localized fame, there arose some hope that somehow this moment in time could contribute to the greater good of our community. This event is not just about music, it's about making a difference. Mr. Edwards, along with countless others, has lost friends and family members to cancer over the years; most recently Westwood's beloved clinician of 19 years, Ms. Suzan Muncer. From there it wasn't a great leap to turn this once in a lifetime event into a fundraiser for Cancer Care Manitoba.
So, with a gentle nudge from family and friends, the alumni gala concert in support of Cancer Care Manitoba was born.
We hope you will support this concert by purchasing a ticket, inviting friends and family and possibly making a small donation to make this event a night to remember. Let’s get people in the seats and pack the Centennial Concert Hall with music fans from all over. In addition, tag, e-mail, post, forward, or mention this event to as many alumni as you possibly can.
