Meanwhile, leadership students with the school TALONS program host their second annual GlenFest — a showcase from about 30 student musicians in the Tri-Cities, with proceeds supporting the Downtown Eastside Women’s Shelter in Vancouver.
Spokesperson Anysia Andrisoaia said more than 150 people attended the inaugural concert last year at Gleneagle.
“It’s a good way to give back to the community and it’s fun for everyone,” the Grade 10 student said.
Tickets at $7/$5 are at the door on March 6 at 7 p.m. Go to @glenfest43 on Instagram.
