Trashcan Tony, Junkyard Jonny!

School Comments


I have some of the squirmiest kids, and they were so engaged and excited! They’ll be talking about this for ages.
Karen Brisebois(Teacher), Alta Vista Public School, Ottawa.


We used the Junkyard Symphony performance as a springboard to inspire our students to create musical instruments out of recycled materials.
Pat Ollivier (Teacher), Christie Public School, Ottawa.

This activity gave the students an opportunity to see and experience something they would not normally see (low socio economic background + ESL).
A. Colborn (Teacher), Charles H. Hulse Public School, Ottawa.

Many volunteers were able to get involved and the whole school participated regularly in the music.
Sue McCourt (Teacher), Our lady of Fatima Catholic School, Belleville.

The Junkyard Symphony Show was an exciting and original musical presentation! We consider ourselves ever so fortunate to have had Junkyard Symphony visit the far "North".
Jane Austin (Teacher), Bobcaygeon Public School

Overall this was a great performance. Both the students and staff were actively engaged in various rhythmic activities. Junkyard Jonny and Trashcan Tony were both humorous and talented.
Heidi Robinson (Teacher), St. Thomas The Apostle Catholic School, Arnprior.

Junkyard Symphony is wonderful, engaging, interactive and well priced. They encouraged the children to use their creative talents to make a difference in the world. We need to constantly remind children of how important music is and encourage various forms of it.
Rita Kevin (Teacher), Parkwood Hills public school, Ottawa.

Junkyard Symphony showed excellent management skills. They were able to keep various ages engaged visually, musically and kinaesthetically. This activity provided ideas to further appreciate and participate in music, art, and environmental studies.
Debbie Lewis (Teacher), St. James Catholic School.

Junkyard Symphony was awesome! They involved children and parents. I received very positive and enthusiastic comments about the event.
Anne Marie Carroll (Teacher), St. Thomas Moore School, Ottawa.

I was amazed at the sound that came from reused materials. It could have been an expensive drum set and would have sounded the same. As a teacher this proved to me that even without $ we can make music.
Nancy Thompson (Teacher), Queen Elizabeth School,Perth.

Junkyard Symphony is amazing! My students loved it!
M Monsebraaten (teacher), Elmdale Public School, Ottawa.

The students were glued, and entranced by Junkyard Symphony right from the start.
Dawn Exner (teacher), Mother Teresa Catholic School, Russell.

The performance was phenomenal and I would highly recommend Junkyard Symphony for any school.
Ray Westendorp (Principal), Merrickville Public School, Merrickville.

Junkyard Symphony brought music appreciation and environmental awareness to our students and made it so much fun for us all!
Kristine Maclaren (Music Teacher), Smith's Falls High School, Smith's Falls.

The children, parents and staff really enjoyed themselves. Junkyard Symphony's entertainment helped turn a cold, wet day into an evening of laughter. Everyone will be talking about it for some time to come.
Nancy Marshall (Director), Carelton Preschool, Ottawa.

Junkyard Symphony entertained an audience of 150 students with an eclectic array of percussive instruments and acrobatic skill while teaching about basic music concepts and environmental awareness.
Kristine MacLaren (Music Director), SFDCI, Smiths Falls, ON.

Junkyard Symphony's workshops were a fabulous day of learning and fun, and all the students and staff appreciated it immensely.
Lisa Cuypers (Chairperson), St. Francis of Assisi School Council, Petawawa, ON.

The performers gave an outstanding presentation, one in which every child and teacher in the room was completely engaged. The hour-long presentation flew by all too quickly, a sign of our sheer enjoyment. It was just wonderful to see those in attendance laughing, clapping and participation in Junkyard Symphony's unique and very entertaining musical presentation and environmentally-friendly message.
Liz McGillis (Teacher), Sacred Heart Catholic School, Cornwall, ON.

Junkyard Symphony successfully kept all our audience members interested and entertained with their very high energy performance while showing everyone that recycling is not only important but can be fun as well.

Junkyard Symphony was able to bring the students out of their shells and willing to participate. Everyone left with a smile.

The interaction with the students and dynamic personalities of the presenters will have a lasting impact on the students.

There were a lot of '"Wow" comments and "Awesome" quotes and "Will they come back again?"
Rebecca Holly (Teacher), Holy Name School, Pembroke, ON.

This was a brilliant performance. Hilarious ways to engage students! Super!"
S Brannan (Teacher), Holy Name School, Pembroke, ON.

By combining the arts with the message of recycling, Junkyard Symphony helped me discover how easy it is to teach curriculum itens through music and dance.
Emilee Lahey (Teacher), Pineview Public School, Pembroke, ON

Junkyard Symphony was effective in their use of non verbal communication. Their ability to maintain a high level of student interest and participation gave the show an excellent momentum.
Anna Tripard (Teacher), Pembroke Public School, Pembroke, ON

Outstanding, Engaging!
Marisol E. Kwai (Teacher), Pinecrest Public School, Ottawa, ON

It was funny when Junkyard Symphony called up the little boy and told him to hold the cheer box. I have to admit, it is pretty amazing the way those guys make all those instruments out of all that garbage or junk. I like the guy that was on the rolling thing on the board juggling those water bottles that were huge.
Rylea Rea (Student), Lady Mackenzie Public School

I am pretty impressed. Like, they rock!!! :)
Dora Alemdag (Student), Trillium Public School, Ottawa

I thought Junkyard Symphony was amazing! I loved Trashcan Tony's rhythms and drum playing and I also loved Junkyard Jonny's humour. I am the kind of peson who always recycles and I do compposting. I think lots of the younger kids will start recycling more because of Junkyard Symphony. They make helping the environement fun.
Kali Catterall (Student), Throndale Elementary, Pierrefonds, QC

Junkyard Symphony did a fabulous show for the Pepsi-QTG Christmas party in Peterborough. I laughed myself silly. I haven't had that much fun in a long time. And my daughter had a wonderful time too. Thanks for making the party so special. Keep up the great work. I'm still smiling!
Lisa Johnson, {Pepsi-QTG}, Peterborough

Without Junkyard Symphony's magic touch, our Christmas Party would not have been quite as successful. It was a wonderful performance, everyone at our company is still talking about it.
Therese Robinson (Finiancial Services Coordinator), Automotive Industries Assocation of Canada.

Junkyard Symphony's Roving Recyclers high-enrergy performance generated much excitement and proved that environmental commitment can be fun! The performance was extremely well received by our staff and I am certain that the energy, joy, and creativity of Junkyard Symphony will leave a lasting impression on all those who attended.
Michael Dawson (Head Environmental Managment Systems and Sustainable Development Strategies), National Defence Headquarters, Ottawa, ON.

Junkyard Symphony helped entertain and relax the Poster Challenge finalists and their families, encouraging total strangers from across the country to come together as friends. The evening would not have been the same without Junkyard Symphony's contribution.

The professionalism and talent of Junkyard Symphony made our event very enjoyable.
