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.
