Rained Out!

Unfortunately, our annual Fathers Day concert at Queens Park was rained out….and that hasn’t happened many times in the bands long history.

To those that made the journey to the park to attend, we thank you.  The decision was not an easy one to make and we held out hope that the weather was going to turn in our favour, but alas, it was not to be.

Although our season is coming to an end, we look forward to seeing you in the Fall for a brand new year of concerts.

If you have not already signed up for our email list, please do so to the right as we will send out concert information as the dates are finalized.

Thank you all for the wonderful support of the New Westminster and District Band!
