The Sackville (NS) Community Band is comprised of 55 members varying in ages and musical experience who were brought together for their love of music. They are from many walks of life – professional musicians, retired musicians, local music teachers, students and members from the community. They come well recommended and it will be a treat for us to see people in “tuxes”.

New Brunswick musicians, Isaac and Blewett
New Brunswick musicians Isaac and Blewett will be bringing their unique sound to Parrsboro on Saturday, October 25th.
From their rural perch on the Fundy shore, Isaac and Blewett have been winning audiences nation-wide with their innovative music, eclectic performances, and honest songwriting. Originally known as an acoustic blues act, they have broadened their sound, spinning out into new, exciting musical territory. Jim Blewett’s steady rhythms and Tim Isaac’s atmospheric cello create a gorgeous, organic sound, enriched by Tim’s soaring, melodic voice.
The duo has recently released their fourth CD, and they are in demand at live music venues and festivals throughout the region.
Tickets for the 8 p.m. show at the Band Hall on King Street in Parrsboro are available at the door, or by calling 902-647-2021.
The Cultural Campus Committee (ltor) Mary Vingoe, Michael Fuller, Harry Thurston, Krista Wells and Paul Cram. Missing : Pam Halstead (she missed the boat) and Jamie Oatt
The Cultural Campus Committee experienced an unusually long retreat over this past weekend (Oct 3-5) on Long Island in Five Islands. We gathered there as planned to brain storm the cultural campus. We had a very successful couple of days while enjoying the spectacular hospitality provided by Dick Lemon and his staff. The beautiful location and very comfortable facilities provided us the luxury of focusing on the work at hand.
Our main task was to define the vision, goals and programming of the Cultural Campus. The vision and goals are for all to see by going to the menu to thr right and clicking on Cultural Campus and then following the links.
For the coming season we will be seeking funding to present four and perhaps five programs generated withing the Association as well as inviting other artists join us under our cultural umbrella to present workshops of their own which we will support and promote.
A big thanks to Dick Lemon for his support and belief in our goals at the hall. If you’ve not been click on this link to visit his island retreat website. http://www.fiveislandsretreat.com
The retreat lasted longer than expected due to an exceptionally strong wind out of the west which kept us island bound for an extra twelve hours
Work contiues over lunch
