On Dec. 2 at 8 p.m., the students are presenting “Godzilla Eats Las Vegas,” a fascinating experience that mingles the tantalizing sounds of Vegas with an exciting addition: a video playing simultaneously with the music, animating the unusual story of the legendary monster wreaking havoc on Las Vegas.

Also present at the concert will be the University of Toronto Wind Ensemble, who performed the piece last year, to play a selection of their best songs.

The video, put together by various Grimsby music department students, was personalized so that it had a special GSS twist. The band presented the piece to the student body at a recent assembly, to which it had a resounding positive response.

The teacher behind the event, Mark Saresky, is overjoyed with how successful the piece was.

“I’m very pleased with how it has turned out,” he said.

Saresky, who is currently in his first year of conducting the University of Toronto band, has been pushing the Grimsby band to be able to achieve their best for the performance. GSS is putting forth approximately 60 students, and the University band is composed of roughly 50 students and community members.

“It’s a great opportunity for the GSS band to learn from a group who has already performed Godzilla,” said Saresky.

While the Wind Ensemble is not participating in the Godzilla event, the two bands are joining together to perform two pieces in what has been described at the climax of the concert.

“The university students are excited because they get to become mentors for the high school band, and the GSS kids are happy because the Wind Ensemble has already performed the song, so they can advise on what works and what doesn’t,” Saresky explained.

The concert is this Tuesday at Grimsby Secondary School. Admission is a $1 donation.
