The 30 students will take turns sitting in with “All You Need is Love,” a Calgary-based Beatles tribute band.

“The show is called: ‘John, Paul, George and 30 Ringos,’” Allen said. “Thirty songs, 30 different drummers – how it goes, we don’t really know.”

The show starts at 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Cochrane Alliance Church.

Allen said playing the music of The Beatles is the perfect way to showcase his young students’ talents.

“The songs are so universal,” Allen said. “How vibrant their music is, how fresh it is and how fresh it still stands today.”
