The sound of music will be alive in Rainbow Schools on Music Monday on May 5th, 2025.
In the Espanola area, Espanola High School and A.B. Ellis Public School are teaming up to present a joint concert in support of the Joan Mantle Music Trust.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy the live music in the Espanola High School gymnasium on Monday, May 5, 2025 from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Student groups performing include the Espanola High School Junior Band and Senior Band, the A.B. Ellis Concert Band, three student bands from A.B. Ellis, and the A.B. Ellis Primary Choir. 
The Espanola High School bands are directed by music teacher Tracy Mark. The A.B. Ellis groups are led by music teacher Tyler Farquharson.
Admission is by donation with all proceeds going to music education.
Espanola High School and A.B. Ellis Public School have received funds from the Joan Mantle MusicTrust to support their respective music programs. 
Both schools look forward to showcasing their talented musicians on Music Monday, giving back to the community for their generous support.
The Joan Mantle Music Trust was established in the fall of 2008 to help refresh, modernize and revitalize school music programs in Rainbow District School Board.
The Trust allocates funding for musical instruments and equipment to selected schools on a rotating basis. The Trust also accepts the donation of new and used musical instruments and allocates them to schools in need. This ensures that there is an ongoing improvement in the condition of musical equipment throughout the Board, allowing for students to achieve more in their musical studies together.
Joan Mantle, a long-time educator with Rainbow District School Board, knew the value of music for young people. She knew that music opens doors and that music is part of a well-rounded education that reinforces academic skills and nurtures life skills.
