Optimist Band Festival







As the dust settles on another year at the Optimist Band festival, we can all be really proud of all three of our concert bands.  They all played their hearts out and truly impressed all of the judges whose comments highlighted our ensembles attention to detail and their mature presence both on and off the stage.  Clean-up Friday night went off without a hitch as we had many enthusiastic members of Symphonic Band pack up the 4 performing stages.  In the end, all of our ensembles were year again invited to represent Manitoba at the Nationals in Calgary in 2020. and that's super awesome!
