Members of the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra were able to connect online with students from Gilbert Paterson Middle School band classes as part of a mentorship program.
The pandemic has had an impact on everyone, but for arts and musical organizations, it has been particularly devastating since the beginning. This has impacted more than just professionals. Performances by school bands have been put on hold as well. At some points of the pandemic, even practices were put on hold. Everyone has had to adapt. From students, to educators to members of the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra.
