Students bring illScarlett to Humber
March 5, 2009
by Mark Millard
The students voted, and they were anything but disappointed with their decision.
On Wednesday Feb. 25, hundreds of students anxiously waited in a line only seen as large on Halloween pub night, to watch Mississauga’s illScarlett take the stage at CAPS Pub.
In an event organized by the Humber Students’ Federation, students were given the opportunity to vote on which band they wanted to see on the evening of the 25th. Defeating The Stills, Dragonette and Jully Black, the Juno-nominated act was set to take the stage for a second time at Humber ITAL in just under two years.
“We won something. I think that’s the first time we ever won anything,” lead singer and guitarist Alex Norman said, accompanied by laughter from his band mates. “We’re privileged and it’s an honour, and just being nominated in the same breath as The Stills and Jully Black is amazing.”

Wisdom does not necessarily come with age but it does come with experience, which is why former Humber Students’ Federation President, Nick Farnell, is one of the wisest when it comes to important leaderships roles.
His experiences working as HSF President during Humber ITAL’s 2007-2008 school year taught him that learning doesn’t stop at the classroom.
