Thank you to everyone who came to sing at the Whistler Public Library’s celebration of opening on Sundays last weekend.  The choir sang and everyone enjoyed the food and cake.

The junior and intermediate choirs had a busy week with a percussion workshop with professional percussionist Lauri Lyster on Tuesday.

The choirs worked with Lauri to add percussion to some of the favourites that will be performed at the year end concert on Sunday, May 5.

Lots of shakers - can you guess the old favourite they're singing?

Thank you to the Whistler Arts Council for making this workshop possible.  The choirs had a great time and look forward to performing what they learned at the concert.

Whistler Community Band Concert on Friday

The Whistler Community Band is giving their very first concert this Friday evening at 7 pm at Millennium Place.  The concert is suitable for all ages and we encourage everyone to consider coming.  Tickets are $10/adult & $5/child and are available from the box office at Millennium Place.

This is the band’s third year of playing together and members are a mixed group.  Our youngest is in Grade 8 at the high school and our oldest is in his/her 60s.  The only requirement to join the band is that you can already play your instrument.  The music is varied – some classical, some jazz, some movie themes & popular tunes.

Our hope is that, as the band grows, we will eventually be able to offer a beginning band program for children and youth in the community.   Please think about coming – the band would really appreciate your support.
