A WORD FROM OUR DIRECTOR
Music is a performing art meant to be shared with others. The Penticton Concert Band gives local musicians an opportunity to play in an organized setting that allows the sharing of music between ourselves in rehearsal and then once polished, with the rest of the community in concert performances. The band consists of community members from all ages and walks of life. We all started playing our instrument in a school band setting when we were young. The love of music and the commonality of each of us playing a band instrument brings us together to share this passion. As a music director, my job is to teach, encourage and support the musicians in a positive environment that allows us to explore various genres and styles that challenges us and brings joy to the band and audiences.
