Canadian Navy 100th Anniversary Tribute Concert
On April 25th, the GWCB is honoured to help kick off a week-long celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Navy. Brought to you by the Navy 2010 (Windsor) committee and hosted by the Canadian Naval Centennial committee, we combine musical forces with the Windsor Regiment Band, the band of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps Agamemnon, the Silver Ambassadors Concert Band and dancers from the Cornell School of Dance for this truly unique event. Admission is FREE to the public so be sure to get to the HMCS Hunter (960 Ouellette Ave.) when doors open at 2pm.Outdoor Park Concerts
| The Greater Windsor Concert Band will continue to bring music to Reaume park this summer. Bring a lawn chair, blanket, or just stroll through one of Windsor's most beautiful parks while enjoying our music. These casual summer concerts are always a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend time with family and friends. If you've enjoyed these concerts in the past, why not bring a friend or ten with you - spread the word and help keep community concert band music alive in the City of Windsor. Hope to see you at one of these great concert performances. |  |
Spectacle of Winds
| These concerts
feature the GWCB and a guest band from out of town combined to perform
a concert that is
truly a "Spectacle". Each band performs a set of music and then we
combine the bands for a grand
finale which usually boasts over 80 musicians on stage! This
is one concert
type you do not want to miss. Past guest bands have been the
"Mississauga
Pops Concert Band", the "Chatham Concert Band", "Encore - the Concert
Band" (London Ontario band), the Stratford Concert Band, and the
Clarkston Community Band from Clarkston, Michigan. This
concert type has been one of the band member's favorites. |
