I'm getting a bit of help to start this episode. Hi. This is my daughter. She knows all about my work, all about the rare times when adults cross the line with kids, issues around boundaries, consent. I rattle on a bit about it.
This kid will be 16 later this year. That's the same age as Anne-Marie Robinson, Jeannie McKay, and Jackie Short. when they first had encounters with their music teacher. Jackie Short. We haven't met her yet, but we will soon. She's another band member, Jeannie's friend. Jackie kept a diary throughout high school, and she still has them all these years later.
This is where my daughter is going to help me out, reading those entries.
16-year-old Jackie Short wrote down just about everything that happened at school. She was in the Markham District High School band. It's in the greater Toronto area. Same school, same band as Jeannie. Same teacher.
She wrote in cursive, tidy, looping letters with little circles instead of dots at the end of sentences.
Her daily passages describe unedited teenage experiences and her real-time perceptions.
Jackie also witnessed something going on between her friend Rita and the teacher, and her friend Jeannie. And there were also two others. One had brown hair, the other was a blonde. And then she worried about her sister, who would start music soon.
It was a dilemma for this teen. She really liked her teacher. But was it right?
Some of the stuff he says really scares me, though. Because Jackie Short figured it was already happening with the others. Jackie is now in her late 50s.
The band teacher. I'm Julie Ireton. This is season two of The Band Played On. A music teacher taught in seven different schools. He kissed, hugged, dated and had sex with teen students. Relationships he normalized but kept secret.
Anne-Marie Robinson is braced for this next step of her journey. Episode 6, The Diaries. Moments after Anne-Marie and I found Jeannie McKay, Jeannie told her husband. Then she called her longtime friend, Jackie Short. The next day, Jackie sent me a note.
Soon after I get her note, we speak.
Jackie and Jeannie were friends in high school, but not the kind who share their deepest, darkest secrets. Jeannie didn't share those with anyone. In fact, she didn't get too close with anyone at Markham High, except her music teacher.
The two women are close now, and they have been for many years. They're both in their late 50s. Jackie's long dangling earrings peak below her short ginger hair. From her first email, I can tell Jackie is a firecracker. Quick wit, no filter, and still angry as hell.
Oh yeah, Jacqueline Short is also a professional opera singer, a soprano. This is her singing in The Rake's Progress by Stravinsky. The CBC recorded it for Saturday afternoon at the opera several years ago. She's performed internationally. She also teaches at Western University in London, Ontario. Not surprisingly, she was a favourite of the music teacher.
Like Anne-Marie Robinson, Jackie Short chose the French horn.
