![[2024-2025 Little Britches.jpg]] This year marks the 8th annual Notre Dame Collegiate Marching Band comprised of Grade 7 and 8 music students at Notre Dame Collegiate, along with volunteering Grade 9 and 10 performing musicians, and Grades 10, 11 and 12 student support staff. This year there were 74 musicians marching in the Little Britches Parade. Notre Dame Collegiate is the only school in the Christ the Redeemer Catholic School Division with a marching band, and one of only 3 schools in the province with an active program. It's growth has been noticed by other organizations in the area, and we are now receiving invitations to perform in other parades and marching band shows. ![[2024-2025 Battle of the Bands.png]] # Performing - *[[Firework]]*, Originally recorded by [Katy Perry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katy_Perry), arranged by [[Joel Windsor]] <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512" style="width:12px;"><path fill="#FF0000" d="M339.8 7.5l15.8 31.6c7.1 14.2 23.6 21.1 38.7 16l67.6-22.5c1.4-.5 2.9-.7 4.4-.7c7.6 0 13.8 6.2 13.8 13.8c0 1.5-.2 2.9-.7 4.4l-22.5 67.6c-5 15.1 1.8 31.6 16 38.7l31.6 15.8c4.6 2.3 7.5 7 7.5 12.2c0 4.7-2.4 9.1-6.4 11.6l-97.9 61.2c-6.8 4.3-3.8 14.8 4.2 14.8l38.3 0c7.6 0 13.8 6.2 13.8 13.8c0 1.5-.2 2.9-.7 4.4l-8.5 25.5c-4.1 12.3-.3 25.9 9.5 34.4l34.3 29.4c3.4 2.9 5.4 7.2 5.4 11.7c0 5.5-3 10.6-7.8 13.4l-28.9 16.5c-11.6 6.6-17.9 19.8-15.7 33l4.2 25.1c.1 .6 .2 1.3 .2 1.9c0 7.6-7.2 13.2-14.6 11.2l-155-40.4c-8.2-2.1-16.6 2.4-19.2 10.4l-8.5 25.4c-1.7 5-6.3 8.4-11.6 8.4c-4.4 0-8.5-2.4-10.7-6.3l-53-95.3L73 505c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0s-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L239.3 270.8c3.6-6.1 2.7-14.1-2.5-19.4c-6.2-6.2-16.4-6.2-22.6 0l-84 84L22.3 275.5c-3.9-2.2-6.3-6.2-6.3-10.7c0-5.3 3.4-9.9 8.4-11.6l25.4-8.5c8-2.7 12.5-11.1 10.4-19.2L19.8 70.6C17.9 63.2 23.4 56 31 56c.6 0 1.3 .1 1.9 .2L58 60.3c13.2 2.2 26.4-4.1 33-15.7l16.5-28.9C110.3 11 115.4 8 120.9 8c4.5 0 8.8 2 11.7 5.4L162 47.7c8.5 9.9 22.1 13.6 34.4 9.5l25.5-8.5c1.4-.5 2.9-.7 4.4-.7c7.6 0 13.8 6.2 13.8 13.8l0 38.3c0 8 10.5 11.1 14.8 4.2L316 6.4c2.5-4 6.9-6.4 11.6-6.4c5.2 0 9.9 2.9 12.2 7.5z"/></svg>
