June 2017, the Burlington Teen Tour Band marched into the Performing Arts Centre, making it their Official Home. 

It was a near sold-out audience  watching the Burlington Teen Tour Band perform at the FirstOntario Concert Hall (Hamilton Place) last night for the first time since the Burlington Performing Arts Centre opened in 2011.
