On Wednesday, April 30, 2014, at 8 p.m., at 722 College Street, The Virgin Mobile MOD Club, 'MUSIC! Not Mischief' will be hosting the year six finale concert. The concert will be free of charge to all members of the community.
'MUSIC! Not Mischief' is a Toronto Police-led youth outreach program partnering police officers with high school students. Officers mentor students as they learn to play the guitar in preparation for an end-of-season concert where students play on stage with a real rock band.
Now in its sixth year, 'MUSIC! Not Mischief' has expanded to 18 schools in five police jurisdictions. This year, the program was delivered in 14 schools in Toronto as well as in Oshawa, Cobourg, Kawartha Lakes and Niagara Falls by their respective regional police services.
The performances will be judged by a panel of celebrity judges including Mark Holmes, lead singer and Dan Todd, drummer for Canadian rock icons Platinum Blonde, Toronto City Councillors Mark Grimes (Ward 6 South Etobicoke) and Sarah Doucette (Ward 13 Parkdale High Park), Carparelli Guitars CEO and program co-founder Mike Carparelli and others.
The show will be hosted by Tamara Cherry of CTV News. The winner of the competition will get to keep the guitar they played. GTA based guitar manufacturer Carparelli Guitars supplies instruments to the MUSIC! Not Mischief program.
MUSIC! Not Mischief is funded by ProAction Cops & Kids, a charity that funds police led, youth outreach initiatives for at-risk youth. For more information, click here.
