Westwood Celebrates with the WSO


On Wednesday October 4th Westwood was very proud to host the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Mickelthwate.  Invitations were sent out to the family of schools and in addition to the entire student body of Westwood Collegiate, we were joined by energetic students from: Robert Browning, Lincoln and Sansome.  All told, the gym was packed with enthusiastic audience members who were truly excited to hear what the symphony had to offer.  When the dust had settled, the Symphony played for a little over an hour and wrapped up with highlights from Star Wars: the Force Awakens.

Thank you to everyone involved and to all of the staff and students from Westwood for being such great hosts.
