For anybody in the Toronto area, the Hannaford Street Silver Band is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month, with a weekend full of brass playing: www.hannafordband.com/festival_brass.htmFeatured are the Hannaford Street Silver Band (in which I will be playing), the True North Brass, and the Canadian Brass (with their new trumpet player), as well as numerous brass bands: The Canadian Staff Band of the Salvation Army, the Hannaford Youth Band, Intrada Brass, the Maple Leaf Brass Band, the Metropolitan Silver Band, the Weston Silver Band, and the Whitby Brass Band. Not to be missed! |

At the Jens Lindemann Masters Class I heard Chase Sanborn mention this event ... but I can't attend! My wife's family will be in the city and if I disappear for the day I'll be in trouble and they would not be interested.
Oh well!

That's OK, Bill. I was talking to Howard Cable last night at our CD release party and he chose to be in Lethbridge rather than Toronto! ;D .

NE,
That was a great weekend in Toronto. I missed the bands on Friday but heard all the bands on Saturday as well as the Canadian Brass on Saturday night. The CB always put on a great show, Saturday's concert included the 'opera' 'Hornsmoke'.
It was nice to hear you on your Sparx # 2 cornet mouthpiece.
So just how many Sparx Cornet Mouthpieces were in use that weekend ......... 24!!
All the bands had at least one Sparx mp. in the band ........... Cornets in Toronto have never sounded better!
Happy Canuck,
Did Jens Lindemann mention he was recording a solo CD with the Canadian Staff Band while he was in Toronto? I'll keep you posted
Cheers,
Ted

Hi Graig,
As you may or may not know ........ I'm no longer in the CSB but I'll check in as soon as the disc is out. I'm sure it will be great ........ the 'guys' said Lindemann was super.
