The Band of the 5th (BC) Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, presents its 20th Annual Spring Concert, featuring a wide variety of band music the whole family will enjoy, from marches to medleys to movie music. There's even a piece written for sandpaper and band! It's sure to be a lovely afternoon of light music and toe-tappers. Admission is by cash donation, with proceeds going to the not-for-profit Fifth BC Artillery Regiment Foundation.

The Band of the 5th is a unit of the Canadian Armed Forces Primary Reserve and is the only Army Brass-Reed band on Vancouver Island. It's been in Victoria since 1864, making it the oldest continually-operational band west of Thunder Bay. The players in the Band are Reservists and civilians, so if you are looking for an awesome part-time job, with great pay and benefits, or just a place to play, consider checking out the Band. Rehearsals are Tuesday nights at Bay Street Armoury.
