Are you looking for free fun for the whole family? Are you interested in music?
Are you visiting the lower mainland and looking for some local colour?
Then you may be interested in the Ladner Bandfest taking place at Memorial Park -5010 47 Avenue, Delta. Since 2005, Delta Music Makers has hosted some 16+- adult community bands from 11am- 5.30 pm on the first weekend in June; this year the 1st and 2nd.
This year’s special guest, closing out Sunday afternoon will be the Band of the 15th Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery. In addition to being a first class wind ensemble and marching band, the band boasts smaller ensembles such as the brass quintet, saxophone quartet, and jazz combo. The band performs more than 50 engagements per year and has performed throughout BC, across Canada, the United States, Germany, Hong Kong, and the Netherlands.
Musical types and genres are not restricted: expect to hear marches, Broadway, light classical, light jazz, and some funky Latin rhythms.
Admission is FREE (but, donations to help defray costs will not be ignored).
Parking is FREE, and located just to the south, with further parking available five minutes walking distance away at the high school. (Close to bus routes, too!)
Some food service will be available through TOOB, washrooms are available close by.
Children getting antsy? There’s a whole park and playground next door!
But, DO bring your own chair – there is some seating, but it’s limited.
Please join us at Memorial Park in Delta for some great music!
