David emceed the evening and performed 3 songs with the Humber College faculty big band under the direction of Denny Christianson. It was a knowledgable and enthusiastic audience and they rewarded their idols with several standing ovations during the course of the evening. David was obviously having a great time performing for this sea of bright young faces in one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world.
