About the Band

In the spring of 1969 a group of West Vancouver residents met to consider the formation of an adult band as an extension of the existing West Vancouver Band. This resulted in the formation of the West Vancouver Adult Band. The first rehearsal was held in the Irwin Park Elementary School 's band room at 8:30pm on May 6th, 1969.

The band provides an opportunity for adults to enjoy playing and performing music together and to participate in sustaining a self-supporting, amateur, musical organization.

Thirty-four years later, the West Vancouver Concert Band is going strong, rehearsing weekly and performing regularly.
