Royal Bay Secondary students are unable to put on a traditional musical at this year with COVID restrictions in place to protect safety.

Instead, teachers and students have produced a documentary-style musical film entitled “Generation Next”

Generation Next: A Documentary Style Musical Film

On March 13th 2020, School District #62 students left for spring break unaware they would not return from their break two weeks later. In fact, many would not return to school until September; and even then, it wasn’t school as per usual. Students had one class a day for 22 days and they only attended for half a day.

A challenging and uplifting documentary by students

The COVID-19 global pandemic radically impacted (and continues to impact) people’s lives. People became sick, families lost loved ones, jobs were lost, businesses closed, and people were not able to socialize as they once did.

In the film Generation Next, Royal Bay Secondary’s Performance Company share with you their thoughts, challenges, and successes through this difficult time, while also discussing their hopes and dreams for the future. This challenging and uplifting documentary is woven together through a collection of popular musical theatre songs.

In a short period of time our world has drastically changed and it will continue to do so as we step into the future.

And the Generation Next have a lot to say about it.
