Cape Breton Community Band Fest

Hello all and happy Canada Day weekend!! Hopefully summer weather will arrive soon.
It is now time to start thinking about our BandFest being held in Sydney, Cape Breton October 4-6th. This is a very special BandFest as Second Wind, your hosts for the weekend, are celebrating it 25th anniversary! We have had a great year and look forward to topping it all off with a great BandFest with all of you joining us.
I am attaching a flyer for your information and a registration form. All the information should be there but if you have any questions just send them along.
You don’t even need to send me the completed registration form…just flip me back an email (Elizabeth Buffett bandfest.registrar@gmail.com) with the information and I will do the rest.
Note that there are a number of AirBnB accommodations in the area. Check them out on google and if you have any questions let me know and I will check them out for you.
This will definately be a great weekend as we celebrate our history with our great conductors from the past…Rowan, Andrew, Ken, Jolene, Laura with our great clinicians AND demonstrate our committment to the future by introducing a great young talent, Sarah MacDonald who will be conducting the MacKay band. Very exciting.
PS Name That Tune is back on the social agenda!
Thanks Elizabeth

A band from Windsor, ON is touring the Maritimes. The Greater Windsor Concert Band is being hosted by the Atlantic Festival of Music and is touring NS and PEI in early July. They have one performance in Halifax at the Public Gardens band stand on Sunday July 7 at 12 noon. Hopefully, you can come out to support them and to enjoy music in the gardens.
