Thank you to everyone for coming out to hear us at the Dundas Cactus Parade on August 20th. Such a beautiful night for a parade! Although the DCB doesn’t march in the parade, we had fun at the Eccles Auto Service parking lot, playing before the parade, and during the parade when there was a quiet time.

The Dundas Concert Band will be taking a break for a few weeks. Our first practice back will be Tuesday, September 15th at 7:30pm in the Town Hall. If you are interested in learning more about the band, or would like to come out to play with us, please check out our website for more information. We are currently in need of a bassoon player, although other players are welcome to attend. Just let us know before you come, at info@dundasconcertband.com.

Our upcoming performances include the Remembrance Day Service in Gore Park, and our annual Christmas concert, held the 3rd Sunday in December. More information to follow.

The Silver Swing Band performed at the bandshell on August 11th. Several members from the DCB are also in the Silver Swing Band. Here are some pictures from the performance.

It’s coming soon! The last concert for the summer by the DCB will be performed on Tuesday, Aug. 4th at 7:30pm at the Dundas Driving Park. Be sure to bring your chair and enjoy the music of the night.

Can’t wait to hear the Dundas Concert Band again? Then come out to the Cactus Parade on Aug. 20th. The band will be performing in the Eccles parking lot, starting around 6:30 pm.

The Family Concert was a great success. There were several children taking part in bucket drumming, crafts, and listening to the music. The Saxophone Ensemble and the Brass Quintet performed during the evening. The children seemed quite intrigued by the playing!

Join us on Tuesday, July 28th for our 4th concert. This is our family concert, for the young and the young at heart.

There will be activities for children, including bucket drumming, starting around 6:30pm. The music will begin at 7:00pm.

This concert will feature the DCB Saxophone ensemble, and the Brass Quintet, along with the full concert band. So much to listen to!

Since last week was cancelled due to the forecast, we will also have a concert on August 4th, at 7:30pm. Be sure to bring your chair for our final 2 concerts.

Due to conflicting weather reports, including thunderstorms until 10:00pm on Tuesday, we cancelled our outdoor Concert in the Park. We apologize to you if you did not see the notices on the website and went out to the park. As we were practicing at the Town Hall, we looked out to a beautiful sunny evening, and realized that you can’t always believe the reports!

The good news is that the July 28th concert will have the Brass Quintet and probably the Saxophone ensemble perform for you as our guest performers. Also, it is the Children’s Concert, with activities for the kids. Note, this concert begins at 7:00p.m.

And, the cancelled concert will be rescheduled to Tuesday, August 4th! More information to follow.

July 21st Concert in the Park has been cancelled due to the weather. There are conflicting reports on the weather this evening. So, we have decided to cancel tonight’s performance. We hope to reschedule this performance on August 4th.
