Welcome...

         ....to the R.D Parker Music Department, home of the largest music department in northern Manitoba. In addition to our five concert bands, three jazz ensembles and two concert choirs, we offer courses in jazz small groups, intro to band and vocal jazz.

            Our mission is to give all students the opportunity to develop lifelong learning skills through the study and performance of the fine arts.  We will provide an inclusive, safe and engaging learning environment for students to create and grow as artists and citizens.
