The CSB celebrates 100 years of service this weekend. To be honest, I'm not sure what we call this weekend. When I was younger it was always the CSB Thanksgiving Concert. Then it became the Thanksgiving Festival. In recent years it's been called Sounds of the Seasons. (At least I think it was a plural 'seasons'.)
But this year it's been commonly referred to as our 100th Anniversary Celebration. I guess you can call it whatever you'd like. A rose by any other name..... Oh wait... there's no way I should be quoting Shakespeare on this blog!
The bottom line is that we will be doing some special things to observe 100 years of service. We will have our traditional Saturday evening concert. On Sunday morning we will have a worship service where alumni of the band will provide the music. Sunday afternoon will be another concert featuring both the current CSB and members from the past.
Special guest artists on Saturday evening will be Chris Jaudes (trumpet soloist) and Carol Dilley (vocal soloist). On Sunday Colonel Ernest Miller, former bandmaster, will take part in the Alumni Festival and Commissioner Robert E Thomson will speak in both the worship service and Alumni Festival.
