Playing to a jam-packed hall filled with students, parents and Board teachers and staff, finalists from 10 TDSB schools competed in TDSB Fusion Showcase. This is the first TDSB showcase event highlighting student excellence in music, dance, creativity and team work. One of the top 10 finalists was a band from Georges Vanier Secondary school - Continuing Education Program(night school) called Keefer Jam. Their lead vocalist/guitarist Ria Rayappan was amazing at engaging the crowd and the whole rock performance was a definite crowd pleaser.
