“I’m captain of a 5 member team for the Ride to Conquer Cancer called ” Team Beat It” . As part of our fundraising this year we are doing a casual evening of jazz set up as a semi cabaret style. The venue will be held in the parish hall of the Holy Trinity Anglican Church – 1440 w12th Ave. Vancouver ( southwest corner of 12th and Hemlock ). I have asked a guest vocalist to join us for a couple numbers as well as guest soloists. The venue will also be licenced for beer and wine plus light snacks and will feature various items in a silent auction as well as a 50/50 draw and door prizes. Tickets are $25 ( tax deductable ) all proceeds go our team helping us each make our $2500 minimum which in turn go straight to the BC Cancer Foundation to support research. Doors open at 730pm and we play from 8pm to 11pm.”

Today the New Westminster and District Band Society offers a unique musical experience by facilitating 3 levels of Concert Band (beginner, Intermediate, and Senior) as well as a Senior Jazz Band. A special experience for me was playing with both of my children, my wife, and my father in law, in the Senior Band, as we were all together for a few years.  All of our bands are open to all ages. For us it is all about where you are in your musical journey.

If you are a beginner, or if you and your children would like to take on a new challenge; if you started your musical journey at school but would like to be at the top of your class; or if you played years ago and would like to re-experience playing with a top- performing Concert or Jazz Band; please check out our website and come to visit us on Monday or Thursday nights (06:30pm).

Hope to meet you soon,

Danny Olsen
