To our colleagues in local community music:

To our colleagues in local community music:

To give some background; In 1974, Donald M. Gordon, Director of Parks and Recreation for the newly amalgamated City of Brampton, met with the local civic bands at the time to discuss and implement his vision of the Summer Festival of Music.  Centred on the new Band Shell built in the middle of Chinguacousy Park, the Festival featured the Chinguacousy Concert Band and Dance Band, Senators Drum and Bugle Corps, Brampton Citizen's Band, and many other local groups.  The season was a resounding success and officially opened the Band Shell on Sunday, June 23rd, 1974.

The Chinguacousy Concert Band is proud to continue this tradition and amazing vision from one of our City's great leaders.  While the band shell you will see is different from that of yesterday, the unmistakable music of our fun-loving, dedicated and devoted Brampton musicians survives through the ages.

This year we are proud to present the third edition of our Chinguacousy Music in the Park concert series.  The exceptional environment and natural amphitheatre of one of Brampton's largest and well known parks, as in the past, makes an ideal performance venue for attendance from families and their friends across Brampton and beyond.

In association and cooperation with Chinguacousy Park and the City of Brampton, we have the opportunity to once again fill the park with music throughout the summer months; and most importantly, with a majority of local Brampton musical talent.  This location is the perfect venue for your group to showcase their musical talents while contributing to our great community.

It is our pleasure to invite you to perform in this year's series, which will be once again presented on Sunday evenings throughout the summer, starting at 6:30pm.  As we anticipate that some Sundays may be more preferential to each group than to others, please reply to us with two or three suggested dates that could work for your group.  As we begin to receive replies we will allocate dates that are beneficial to all involved.

Reply with your preference to: info@chingband.com on or before Saturday, April 27^th, 2013

Once we have the dates assigned, we will send out detailed information regarding the logistics of each weekend date to all of our confirmed groups.

Thanks for your attention and I do look forward to your participation in this year's concert series.  Should you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,

Al Bourke, President

Robert Johnston, Vice President

Joe Brubaker, Officer

Sheryl Meens, Officer

Colleen Oakleaf, Officer

First Fridays!

Join PAMA on Friday April 5, 2013 for the kick off to PAMA’s First Fridays – an ongoing monthly event on the First Friday of every month bringing, art, history, and music together in the setting of Peel Region’s newest after work hotspot - the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives.

April 5th’s event will feature landscape artist Mark Grice who will create an original painting during the evening that will be auctioned off to raise funds for the Educational Endowment fund at the end of the night.

Each month will bring an exciting new theme and experience – you could be transported to the era of Mad Men one night, or you could be experiencing the culture and tastes of Spain the next, all without leaving Peel! Stay tuned as we develop themes for each event.

Mark the First Friday evening of every month in your calendar now, because you will not want to miss what’s happening at PAMA!

$5 cover, this is a 19+ event and refreshments will be available for purchase. All proceeds go towards the Friends of PAMA Educational Endowment Fund
