BURLINGTON, ON
The city will celebrate the Burlington Teen Tour Band’s 70th anniversary at a concert on Sunday, July 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Central Park Band shell.
The BTTB started in 1947 in a room on top of a store on Brant Street with 75 young and eager musicians. Since that time the BTTB has grown into Canada’s Premier youth marching band.
Burlington is probably the only city in the country that has a band that represents the citizens at all major events and flies the city’s flag at events around the world.
The BTTB represented the city in Holland during the 75th Anniversary of the end of WWII and will march in the Rose Bowl parade later this year.
Bring you chairs and take in a significant celebration – something the city can be very proud of.
Great show tonight by a group of teens who have practiced all year to put on a show for their appreciative audience.
Burlington’s own ambassadors will represent Canada during the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasdena on Jan 1 2018.
