In the summer of 2007, the life of Tyler McGill came to a tragic end as the result of a “Senseless Act Of Random Violence”. Tyler or “T-Lar” to his Friends, was an avid guitar player and lover of music. In order to celebrate Tyler’s life and convey the message “The Violence Has To End”, …the Tyler McGill (T-Lar) Memorial Benefit Concert which was held Sunday February 15, 09 with the proceeds donated to ProAction Cops & Kids, a charity that funds programs, developed and run by Police Officers, to help at-risk youth. ProAction is the funding partner for MUSIC! Not Mischief, a cutting edge program in which members of the Toronto Police Service reach out to our youth through music.

A wide spectrum of Bands from across our Province, are stepping up and generously donating their time and talent to send out our message: "Help Stop The Senseless Acts of Random Violence”

Rehearsal with TRACENINE and all MNM participants held at St. Mary's Thursday March 25th! A big thanks to all who volunteered their time, TRACENINE and most importantly all of the students of St. Mary's and Central Commerce.

Truly innovators and mentors in the Music Not Mischief! program without you none of this would have been possible. One of Canada's hardest working bands we cannot express enough thanks to Matt, Dennis, Adrian and Rob for their time, patience and continued work with us and wish them continued success with their rise to the top of the Canadian music scene. Our heartfelt thanks go out to you for all you have done to develop this unique program and your special and positive attitudes should be models for bands of the future.
