WHETHER it’s
Switzerland, Japan,
Disneyland or London,
the North Vancouver
Youth Band has seen it
all.

The band has successfully
made it through 60 years of
outstanding performances in
the community and around
the world.

Since its beginning in
1939, the youth band has
wen countless awards and
prizes. These include the
Best Canadian Band in
1968, the Direciors Award
from the 1995 Victoria Day
parade and Best Canadian
Band in the 1998 Victoria
Day parade. in 1995, the

band was honoured by
becoming the official band
of the City and District of
North Vancouver.

The youth band is not
well known across the Lower
Mainland even though it is a
part of history. The band has
delighted people all over the
world with its musical ability.

The year 1960 saw the
band playisg in the Grey
Cup parade and the PNE
parade, which orought the
band another first-place tro-

hy. In 1973, the yousi

and was chosen to repre -
sent Canada in the
International Folklore
Festival in Northern
England. The band played
for Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth at the opening of
the Vancouver Aquarium’s
Amazon Gallery in 1983.

To the students, the band
is more than just an after-

school activity, it is an
opportunity to have fun,
meet new people, be around
people in different age
groups {elementary to col-
lege), and play with people —
who are at different ability
levels. It is also a chance to
travel and to go to informal
events arranged by the stu-
dent council.

rom our own experi-
ence, band lias taught us to
interpret music in a different
way. We have made friends
we will never lose and have
seen exciting new places.
Youth Band is an experience
we will never forget.
