The Orillia Concert Band is celebrating 40 Years of Music

Save the Date! Big Concert Coming Up! Get your tickets now!

On Saturday, May 2, St. Paul’s Centre will be alive with music and memories.

The Orillia Concert Band is celebrating 40 Years of playing great music together and sharing with Orillia and the surrounding area.

It was 1986 when Stan Passfield took on the challenge of creating a community concert band and finding a worthy founding conductor in the person of Bob Plunkett. Bob’s family will be attending in force on May 2. We will have all 3 of our remaining past conductors with usand each one will be leading us through a piece of their choice. Of course our own Randy Hoover will be at the helm. Randy will join the trumpet section while Stan Passfield conducts us, then Roy Menagh, and then James Hilts. Our repertoire will include some compositions by Orillia’s very own, much-loved
Suds Sutherland. Christina Bosco will be our soloist and our MC!

The St. Paul’s Pub Committee will be making refreshments available (cash only) before and after the concert, and during intermission. We can’t wait to have the chance to visit, laugh and thank past Orillia Concert Band players and our wonderful audience for your amazing support and all the fun over the years!
