Douglas College Bands Winners

Douglas College recently hosted the Canadian

Concert Band Festival and at the same time the
Stage Band Festival was at Expo. Three Douglas
College bands, directed by Blair Fisher, partici-

pated in these events and finished with excellent
results.

The Douglas College Jazz Band I, made up of

Douglas College music students, alumni and
community members, won the gold medal in

the Jazz Band Open Community competition.

The Douglas College Jazz Band Il received

favourable scores of 88% and 90% in Class 1A

competition, The Douglas College Concert
Band, with both Douglas College students and
community members, won a silver medal in the
Class 6 competition which is the highest levet -
of difficulty.

These bands were competing against the regional
finalists from across Canada. I would like to
congral tulate Blair and all band members for
their great success.

Intramurals

Our staff and faculty team (some staff - no
faculty) came third in the "fun & games" part

of this semester's competition and we are now
sporting beautiful white ball hats in time for
ball season.

Not everyone was keen on nerf broomball,
balloon volleyball and floor hockey which
replaced the highly competitive ball hockey
we generally played...so back to vicious, brutal
highly competitive ball hockey.

Have a marvelous summer, everyone! Enjoy
Expo, the Space Station, Seattle - or whatever
is your pleasure and I'll be back in September.

P.S. Do we have anyone in the College who would
be interested in putting together a women's
soccer team for a one tournament event
held at Malaspina October 4th and 5th? O
(Let Betty Lou at local 5338 know!)

 

 

 

Athletic Update

Douglas College captured the 1985- 86 Aggregate
Award with a total of 33.8 points. Capilano
College followed with 29.3 putting the 1984-85
winner, Cariboo College, in third place with 24
points. To win this award a college must not
only compete in a wide variety of sports but
also excel in several in order to amass enough
points to bring home the trophy. This trophy

is a beautiful three foot high carved Totem pole

which is presently residing in Gerry DellaMattia's |

office. I know that he would welcome all
interested admirers.

Coaches and athletes alike both deserve a great
deal of praise for their hard work and dedication
throughout the year. I particularly want to
thank the faculty and staff who provided many of
the opportunities for our student-athletes to
compete during this academic year - - as well as
attend the National Championships in March.

To All College Personnel

I will be away from the College for the period
May 26 through June 6th, returning to the office
Monday, June 9. I will be attending the
Association of Canadian Community Colleges
Conference in Calgary during the first week, and
a Council of Principals meeting plus the

B.C. Association of Colleges Annual Meeting,

in Penticton, during the second week.

During my absence, Bill Morfey will be Acting:
College President.
