About the Band

The Burnaby North Marching Band began seven years ago as the brainchild of teacher sponsor, Peter Wenzek. Since then it has grown to more than 65 members. The students have great fun marching in a number of events each year, including the Hyack International Parade, Rogers’ Santa Claus Parade, Grey Cup Parade, Santa Claus Parade of Lights, Hats Off Day Parade and the North Shore Canada Day Parade. Band members agree, the ultimate goal is to participate in the 2010 Olympics.

Marching Band practice is done after school for one hour, twice weekly. The Band contains a wide variety of instruments and has recently obtained a full drum line including base drums, quads, and snares. We are looking for new members, both to play as well as to hold banners and flags. We look forward to hearing from you!
