Department of Fine Arts
Department Head: Tim Stanutz
This department includes the fields of music, drama and visual arts. It also fields musicals and plays - the 2008 musical is Hot Mikado.
The Music department at Bell was graced in September by the musical duo DALA. The group entertained 80 Bell students in the intimate setting of the music room 140. Besides performing Dala talked about song writing and the music business in general. Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther formed DALA soon after their first meeting in their high school music class. In the summer of 2005 these best friends signed a major label deal with Universal Music Canada and their debut album 'Angels and Thieves' was released that same year. With vocal harmonies guaranteed to give you chills, the girls also make use of their talents on guitar and piano to create their unique brand of acoustic pop. Dala has won over audiences at festivals across the country, and their fun and energetic stage presence made them a hit on their recent tour opening for Canadian legend Tom Cochrane and being part of Stewart McLean's Vinyl Cafe.
