The New Westminster and District Band Society is inviting everyone out to enjoy an evening of band and choral music.
The group is holding its annual pops concert, the first of its 2017/18 season, on Monday, Nov. 20 at the Michael J. Fox Theatre. The instrumentalists will be joined by the Burnaby Central Secondary School choirs for the concert.
Tickets are $15, and they’ll be available at the door. Michael J. Fox Theatre is at 7373 MacPherson Ave. in Burnaby.
If you’re not familiar with the New Westminster and District Band Society, it’s now in its 83rd year of continuous operation, providing playing opportunities to amateur musicians from teenagers to seniors.
The society includes three concert bands: a senior band, for experienced players; the Forte Wind Ensemble, an intermediate-level band; and a beginner band, all of whom rehearse at Richard McBride Elementary School in New Westminster. There’s also a jazz band, which rehearses at New Westminster Secondary School.
