Kimberley Community Band Christmas concert
Saturday, December 10
The Kimberley Community band is bringing in the holidays with its annual Christmas Concert. During planning for the concert, there was concern about a venue. The band has traditionally used the Anglican Church Hall on Leadenhall St. for its concerts, but the church was sold this year. Fortunately, new owner Jill Lobban has graciously allowed the band to use the hall.
Regular band concert goers might notice a change on the podium. Long-time conductor Ian Ferrie is now playing his French horn, and Jeannie MacDonald has taken over the helm. You might still catch her sneaking back into the flute section for marches.
The concert will take place on Saturday, December 10, at 7:00. There will be lots of chances for the audience to sing along with Christmas favourites, as well as an intermission featuring baked goodies
