Concert Band to perform Mother’s Day

May 1, 2013 · 0 Comments

The Caledon Concert Band invites music lovers from all walks of life to celebrate Mother’s Day with them at their Sounds of Spring Concert May 12.
It will be at Caledon Community Complex on Old Church Road in Caledon East starting at 2 p.m.
The musical program will feature songs from Broadway musicals, including Cats, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Jersey Boys and Les Miserables. Also featured are a number of musical guests performing instrumental and vocal solos and duets to complement the band’s selections. A medley of Scottish marches and a whimsical, Dixieland-inspired take on When the Saints go Marching In will round out the afternoon’s music.
This community band is composed of volunteer musicians ranging from high school students to retirees. The members come from many backgrounds, but share one important common desire: they love to perform music. Concert bands bring together musicians playing many different instruments — flutes, clarinets, oboes, saxophones, french horns, trumpets, baritones, tubas and percussion — and play many different styles.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors. Children under 12 are admitted free to this family-friendly concert. Tickets are available in advance or at the door, and more information is available on the band’s website at www.caledonconcertband.ca or by calling Andy at 416-276-7852.
The Caledon Concert Band Association is a registered charity and has been providing music education in Caledon since 1974. Musicians of all ages and skill levels who play a concert band instrument are welcome to come out and rehearse with the band. Rehearsals are held most Wednesday evenings at the Complex in Caledon East.
