On Mother's Day the Evergreen Club will be presenting the popular Comox Valley Concert Band in a song and dance review at the Florence Filberg Centre.
The event will start at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 11.
Under the direction of Denise Marquette, the 60 piece wind ensemble will dance you through the years with steps for all ages; a waltz, a fox trot, a samba, a hora, a jive, a polka, a gallop and if that doesn鈥檛 set your blood racing, a full throttle jitterbug.
CVCB has been entertaining the valley in its present form since 1947 and in a prior iteration all the way back to 1895. That鈥檚 a whole lot of dancing. And it you can鈥檛 dance, sing along with hits like 鈥淭ime After Time鈥�, 鈥淢y Girl鈥�, 鈥淭he Streets of Laredo鈥� and a medley of singable, danceable tunes from Oliver. 鈥淐onsider yourself one of the family鈥� and grapevine your way to the Florence Filberg Conference Hall.
Rumours suggest that the Lord of the Dance may also make an appearance 鈥� for one afternoon only. The band features a flute section to die for, some lower brass to fear, a percussion section to run from and enough woodwinds to soothe your soul. So put on your stompers, soft shoes, slippers, gum boots, tap shoes or Broadway flats and trip along to what has been billed a 鈥渓ight, fantastic鈥� afternoon of live music.
All this and more at the annual Mother鈥檚 Day Concert. The music begins at the Florence Filberg Centre at 2:00 pm, Sunday, May, 11. Complimentary coffee, tea/cookies provided after the show. Tickets available at Florence Filberg Centre reception or at the door $15 each and children under 12 are free. Information available by calling the Florence Filberg at 250-338-1000 or the website evergreenclub.ca
