On June 11, Vanier Collegiate Institute (VCI) held its year-end concert at the Mae Wilson Theatre in Moose Jaw.
This year’s concert was directed by David Selensky, the new band and choir director at VCI.
During the second piece, he walked off stage to be replaced by a Jurassic-era dinosaur that conducted the theme from “Jurassic Park” and put on a “T-Rex-tra” special performance.
After the piece he returned in his regular attire to continue directing.
Performances were held by the Vanier concert band, jazz band, and choir, who played for a packed room which was approximately 80 per cent full, according to organizers.
Selections included the “Shrek Dance Party,” which was a mash-up of several popular pieces, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme song, “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” and “Put Your Head on My Shoulder,” among others.
The concert saw a lot of positive feedback from those in attendance and the performance was altogether “T-Rexcellent”.
A big thank you is extended to all who helped organize and support the program, and for all who attended the event on Sunday.
