Our first Greenwood Mic of 2025-2026 certainly did not disappoint!
Hosted by the Arts Executive, Greenwood Mic invites performers of all levels, grades and types to hit the stage for a talent-filled assembly each term. This month's assembly featured music from a variety of genres.
Here's the setlist from the October 24 assembly. Congratulations and thank you to all our performers and emcees Sam Jakolska '26, Molly Marshall '26 and Carter Murphy '26.
Our Grade 7s kicked things off with a performance of Try Everything by Shakira, which they had learned a day previous at Arts Day.
Guitar Club performed 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago, Jack Kimmel '27 and Jacob Alvo '27 played and sang High and Dry by Radiohead and Mason Kohler '26 gave us a rendition of Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye, complete with a loop to create all the parts.
Hannah Gosevitz-Foulds '31 sang vampire by Olivia Rodrigo, Sammy Kimmelman '28 gave us Straight and Narrow by Sam Barber and Ander Smith '27 rounded things off with Clementine by Elliot Smith.
There was also one surprise last-minute addition: Mr. Jennings led us all in a spirited sing-along of Take Me Out to the Ballgame to show our support for the Toronto Blue Jays.
We're already looking forward to the next Greenwood Mic! Mark your calendars for December 5.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
