Thanks to Kerwin Davison and his helper; Ian Black; Rod and Helen Tyson, and David Towns, both the marquee and the movable “Enter Here” signs went up on the Band Hall . Using the top of one of our old workshop tables as a frame, Kerwin & Rod did the preliminary work on the marquee, which Kerwin then finished in his workshop. This morning we moved the Citizens Band sign nearer to the Annex door, put the marquee near the main steps, facing King Street, and put up the movable “Enter Here” sign by the annex door for tonight’s film. Kerwin also installed a bracket by the auditorium door, so the “Enter Here” sign can be put there for concerts, etc. The enter here sign was made and donated to the Band Hall by Ian Black who very kindly offered to do this for us as soon as he heard of this project. Kerwin will be putting up a double-headed spotlight on the corner of the Band Hall, above the main stairs, to help light the marquee.
On March 6 @ 7:pm make sure to take in the fun to be had at the 4th Annual Variety Concert organized by our favorite organizers, The Mighty Divas.
There will be music, music and more music. Guitars, keyboard plus the junior band. But it’s not all about the music it’s humour and fun too.
Here is a good example of the craftsmanship that went into the building of the annex section of the building. These pins secured two sections of sill timber together in a lap joint. We still don’t have a construction date of the annex. If anyone can help with the dating please let us know. This deteriorated timber was rescued from the repair debris during the replacement procedure for rotting sill sections where the annex and main hall join.
Band Day 2009 was another great success in the history of the band. Bands performing this year were
- Parrsboro Citizens’ Band
- The Codiac Concert Band – from Moncton
- The Sackville Citizens’ Band – from Sackville NB
- The Elastic Big Band
- Brass Impact – from Halifax
Chairman Michael Fuller presents Don Short (l) with a gift for his many years of service as Director of Music
Nancy Curleigh receives an award for outstanding volunteer contribution.
Thanks so much to all the great supporters that went the extra mile to help us get into the top twenty of our round. Unfortunately we needed to be in the top twenty of all three rounds of voting and we just didn’t have the time ( we only had nine days) to get the numbers up. The momentum everyone helped to build was tremendous and if we’d the same time frame as others I feel we would have been there for sure.
