Welcome to the Leslie Thomas Junior High School Band Program.
My name is Mrs. Holly Leader Contact info: hleader@hrce.ca
We have band classes in grades 6, 7, and 8, as well as extra-curricular ensembles to enrich students' music education and to extend their musical abilities, such as jazz band and tour band. You will find information here throughout the year, especially new things that will be happening with band or things students have done in the past.
You will also find all communication plans for art, music and band.
