We have a Westwood Community Band concert on New Years Day from 2:15 - 2:45 pm on the 3rd floor bridge of the Legislature.
You can arrive at 1:45 pm at the front entrance, take the elevator to your right, and go up to the 3rd floor, and go down to the warm-up Room 334.
Please bring your music and stands. Dress is our red shirts and black pants.
You can park anywhere around the Legislature, I am told.
Here is the playlist:
Our first rehearsal this year will be Thursday September 15th (registration at 7:00 pm, rehearsal starts at 7:15pm) at Lincoln Middle School. Lincoln Middle School is at 3180 McBey Ave (Google Map)
and if you are joining us for the first time we use the East (parking lot) entrance, the Band room is up a couple of steps and on your right, directly across from the gym.
We would also like to welcome Owen Clark our new band director. Owen is a semi-retired University of Manitoba instructor, composer, and Rupertsland Brass Band percussionist.
Welcome, and see you on Thursday!

The Westwood Community Band is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
In 1980, the band director of Sansome School challenged the parents of his band students to form their own group, with the purpose of leading by example. A number of these parents responded and their on-going dedication, boosted by a steady input of new members, has blossomed into the Westwood Community Band. Some of those original parents are still enthusiastic members!
The Band's objectives are to play good music and offer musical entertainment to the wider community. In 2010/2011 the band celebrated its 30th Anniversary.
The Band welcomes adults, beginners through to accomplished musicians, who play woodwind, brass, or percussion instruments.
This is a friendly environment, new members are welcome to sit-in for a couple of nights with no commitment necessary. You will soon feel at home!
