WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Here Is Some Good News!!

The Sackville Community Band Society is creating a new ensemble! The new 9:00am band will include adults who have the desire to regain the musical skills they learned in school or community bands, along with Junior and Senior High School instrumental music students. The group will perform as a concert band, while offering the chance to play in a volunteer marching band in the warmer months. This is an exciting, no-fee opportunity for anyone who has played, or still plays a woodwind, brass or percussion instrument. Do you remember how enjoyable and rewarding it was to be part of a large musical ensemble? Join us! Students and adults of all ages making music together - now that's community!

Admission open to anyone who has played, or still plays:

Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, Clarinet, Saxophone, French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone, Euphonium, Tuba, String or Electric Bass, Snare Drum, Bass Drum, Cymbals, Mallet Percussion Instruments or Timpani.

THERE ARE NO MEMBERSHIP OR PARTICIPATION FEES

Rehearsal time: 9:00 am to 10:15 am
Sackville Heights Community Centre - 45 Connolly Road in Lower Sackville
