Brendan Ricard

 

The rock and roll scene in 1950's and 60's Portage la Prairie is the theme of a photo compilation project under way at Portage Collegiate.

 

It's the brainchild of 16 year old drummer Brendan Ricard, who's a grade 11 student at the school. He's sifting through about 60,000 photos in the school's archive, looking for acts that played at the school before becoming famous.
