NEWS RELEASE
PATRICK FOGARTY CATHOLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL
***********************
The Patrick Fogarty Catholic Secondary School Senior Band struck gold at MusicFest Canada at a massive competition at the University of Toronto in the spring.

The local high-school band not only received the coveted gold medal; they received a once-in-a-lifetime invitation to play at Carnegie Hall in February 2019.

In order to raise funds for this much-anticipated trip to New York, the band is hosting a fund-raising concert at the Orillia Opera House on Friday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets, $20 for adults or $15 for students, are available through the Opera House Box Office.

The Patrick Fogarty band would like to thank TD Bank - Peter Street and Monarch Drive and the Orillia Performing Arts Forum for helping to sponsor this event.

We are looking for a few additional community sponsors and community members who would like to donate to the silent auction.

For further information about the event, tickets or sponsorship opportunities, contact Nancy Metcalf, 705-325-9888 or [email protected].

Thank-you for helping these deserving students get to Carnegie Hall!
