Starting at the bandstand to see the unveiling of the fabulous new sculpture which will grace the corner of the park, they had to skip the cake and treats to move down to the bank parking lot to spend the next 45 minutes providing participants with a variety of old rock'n roll songs.  It was great fun to once again participate in this event which saw perfect, if breezy weather fill Main Street with a great crowd.  One more summer event awaits the choir's participation: Band Day at the bandstand on July 22nd.

so get your tickets soon, and often. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 01 July 2018  CITZENS' CHOIR PERFORMS AT THE OTTAWA HOUSE  Canada Day celebrations were held once again this year at Ottawa House, and once again the Parrsboro Citizens' Choir was in attendance to provide some musical entertainment and lead the attendees in the singing of the national anthem while the flag was being hoisted.  Musical selections were made which would encourage audience participation in the singing, and one medley of tunes remembered the 100th year since the ending of WW I. The choir is pleased and honoured to be included in this celebration every year, looking forward to being able help celebrate Canada's birth date. * * * * * * * * * * * CARL CAMERON AT THE BANDSTAND  A perfect ending to a terrific Canada Day in Parrsboro was provided by Carl, accompanied by Rob Bentley, with his terrific performance on the band stand to a great, appreciative crowd.  The weather cooperated with brilliant sun, warm temperatures, and a mild breeze to keep the bugs away as Carl performed a wide range of musical selections, all of which pleased the audience.  What better way to spend the time before the fireworks? Once again all donations received this evening will go to a charity of Carl's choice.

Up Shore, Down Shore, Knot Sure graced the Parrsboro Bandstand on Sunday evening June 24. Fine performance by Gregg Moore, Sandra and Garnet Hendren. Look for them in and around Parrsboro this summer. I am told they have several public engagements coming up soon for you to catch them.  (Some people were obviously having far too much fun) Wonderful Job at the Bandstand Sunday evening Sandra (not exactly sure which Shore.. or Sure you are). Too bad the weather didn't want to co-operate but the music sure did not suffer!

Led by a greased back, shade wearing Rob 'Bad Boy' Bentley (who showed an entirely new face to the crowd from behind a vintage microphone), the band played a preview of what is in store for patrons who come out Wednesday evening for a special 40th Anniversary screening of 'GREASE'.  The great sounds and enthusiastic performances had them dancing on the grass. Who knew Kerwin had such great moves?  ("What is he up to now?" Jill and Patrick seem amazed at Rob's moves) Next up at the band stand: UpShore, DownShore and Not Sure. Another great evening of music coming up next week.
