Band and Choirathon October 2015
BAND AND CHOIRATHON 2015 A SUCCESS!!
On Friday, October 23, 2015 members from our Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble and Choir came together to participate in our semi-annual Band and Choirathon. The purpose of this event was threefold: 1) to strengthen bonds between musicians 2) to improve performance level and 3) to raise funds for our future band and choir trip in 2017. I am pleased to say that all three of these goals were accomplished. I have worked with several ensembles over the years and while small in number, this group was easily the most focused and dedicated. Their determination made this marathon rehearsal ( minus supper time) go by quickly. Congratulations to our band and choir members and a huge thank you to all involved including Administration, Custodians, Sonia Jeannotte, Cathy Krebs-Cholubko for their assistance with this event. A final thank you to main floor staff in the Religion/Social Science Wing and Art Wing that so generously gave us their rooms to use..We really appreciated it!
PS Sorry no pics! I was on the go and it completely slipped my mind...next time for sure! :)

Awesome Long Exposure Demonstration in Gr. 11 Photography Class
GRADE 11 PHOTOGRAPHY: LIGHT AND LONG EXPOSURE EXPERIMENT!
Students in Mr. Kristof's period 3 Grade 11 Photography Class participated in exciting demonstrations today as they learned about shutter speed and long exposure on DSLR cameras. Each student used a bright flashlight to make circles and, later, squares in the air. As you can see, the results are very interesting!
The camera was mounted on a tripod, the room was darkened and the camera's shutter remained open for 30 seconds. During that time, students tried to be as still as possible, while making their patterns with the lights pointed toward the camera's lens.
As you can see, the still camera recorded all of the motion paths of the lights during these half-minute exposures.
Next week, our budding photo artists will start taking pictures with our 35mm film cameras, but won't they be surprised after pressing the shutter, when they realize that there is no image on the back of the camera as they have become accustomed with their smartphones! They'll have to wait with anticipation until the prints come back from processing. After that, the rest of the semester explores artistic composition and thematic works with digital cameras.

CHICAGO BAND AND CHOIR TRIP 2015
CHICAGO BAND AND CHOIR TRIP 2015: A GREAT SUCCESS!
On Thursday, May 14, 2015, at 9:30am, 44 of Brennan's finest musicians embarked on their annual band and choir trip. This time, we found ourselves in Chicago Illinois, home of the most amazing architecture in North America, an exciting cultural history complete with gangsters, speakeasies, and of course the center of blues and swing jazz in North America.
Our students spent their first night at Tommy Gun's Garage where they enjoyed a delicious dinner and interactive musical revue about the gangsters that once ruled Chicago. The next day the Concert Band performed for Lexington Elmhurst Senior Living Residence, and concluded their visit by eating lunch along side the gracious and generous residents of this retirement home. The band sounded great and the audience was incredibly appreciative! We hope to bring future bands their one day as we received a tremendous reception.This was followed by a trip to Navy Pier, an exciting bus tour narrated by a local gangster who schooled us in the history of the city, and of course balcony seats at the Broadway production of Jersey Boys! ( If you haven't been to see this, I highly recommend it !)
On Saturday, May 16, our students traveled to the Field Museum of Natural History where they toured the Vikings Display . Our Sr Jazz Ensemble performed for an hour only a few feet away from Sue, the world's largest Tyrannosaurus Re, and received tremendous accolades for their great work. Special thanks to band parents Mr. and Mrs. Hepburn for attending our concert ! After lunch and shopping on the Magnificent Mile, we boarded our boat at the Wendella docks for a tour of the breathtaking architecture found along the Chicago River. Our weather was perfect and our students were amazed by the sights and the innovation behind these structures.
After a dinner at Andy's Jazz club, where we enjoyed the sounds of quintet Individuation, we braved the dizzying heights of the SkyDeck located in the Sear's Tower ( 12th highest tower in the world). The next day we were fortunate enough to attend mass at Holy Name Cathedral-one of the jewels of the city. Our students were blown away by the amazing choir and instrumentalists that performed throughout this mass. All in all, AN EXCELLENT TRIP!
Congratulations to the Concert Band, Jazz Choir and Sr. Jazz Ensemble for being excellent ambassadors for our school, and country during this wonderful trip. You were absolutely great! Thank you so much to chaperones Mrs. Kelly Koren and Mr. Steuart Bruce for their assistance, expertise and time on this long weekend. We could not have done this without your support.
Chicago trip pictures are posted below and will continue to be posted throughout the next few days!

F.J. BRENNAN H.S. VISUAL ARTS AND PHOTOGRAPHY PROGRAM
TEAM UP FOR ANNUAL ENVIRONMENT ART SHOW
Georgina Attard, Allison Coffey and Jamie Nowak submitted fine art and photographic works for this year's Unifor "Working with the Environment" art show. Each of their works were well received and as a recognition of students' involvement in this year's show, they each won a year's membership to the Arts Council Windsor Region. Kudos to these three creative students!
Next up is our own showcase, Brennan's third student photography exhibition is happening next weeek at the Art's Council's "ArtSpeak Gallery", located at 1942 Wyandotte St. E., between Kildare and Devonshire. The show opens Tuesday afternoon. Everyone can attend and admission is free throughout the week. Gallery hours are: Tuesday – 1-5pm, Wednesday – 1-7pm, Thursday – 1pm-5pm and Friday – 1pm-5pm. Our Closing Reception Gala will happen on Friday evening, from 5:30-8:00p.m. In the past, our Friday evening receptions have been a wonderful time to take a closer look at the many highly creative and interesting photographic art works hanging on the walls and to meet the student artists behind the camera. Refreshments and light fare will be served at the Gala. All are welcome.
F.J. BRENNAN PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
SEEING THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY: F.J. BRENNAN
SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
Get ready to celebrate the art of photography, as Brennan's Senior Photography students proudly present their most creative and interesting works of 2014-15. In our second public photography exhibition of the school year, over 140 artistic photographs will be up on display next week at ArtSpeak, the public art gallery for the Arts Council Windsor Region.
In this exhibition, entitled, "Seeing the World Differently", work from dozens of different student artists will be hung on the walls for everyone to come and appreciate. This time around, we will have more special effect photos, in addition to many stunning images in the genres of abstract, portraiture, self-portraiture, landscape, architecture, still life and studies in perspective.
Everyone is welcome and admission is free. The Exhibition runs Tuesday through Friday, from 1-5 p.m. and on Wednesday from 1-7 p.m. Join us for light fare and conversation at our Closing Reception Gala on Friday, from 5-8 p.m. Most of our student artists are expected to be at the Closing Reception, where they can share their insights and perspectives on their own works. ArtSpeak Gallery is located at 1942 Wyandotte Street East in Windsor, between Kildare and Devonshire Roads in Olde Walkerville.
