Mustang Sally

"Mustang Sally" is the name of a 13-member group of students, along with their music director Greg Rykman, from Korah Collegiate in Sault Ste. Marie. And it's just been announced that they are coming to Elliot Lake on April 20nd for an evening performance!

If you have ever seen the movie "School of Rock", then it will give you an idea of what "Mustang Sally" is all about. But just an idea. The group is a high school band like no other - playing rhythm and blues, rock, and soul. The students in the group receive a high school credit for their efforts - but playing music is only part of what they do.

They are expected to be role models for their peers as well as for future high school students. In fact, many of their performances are for elementary schools and positive attributes such as honesty, leadership, and responsibility are championed by the group members.

You might have seen "Mustang Sally" when they performed in Elliot Lake twice before to packed houses at the old Fireside. If you did, you have probably never forgotten their energy and professionalism. If you didn't -- don't miss them, this time!

Elliot Lake is one of the group's favourite places to perform, according to Mr. Rykman.

A limited number of tickets will go on sale soon at ELSS for the performance in the ELSS Gym.

Tickets are only $5 and they will go fast! Stay tuned.
