The Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy is a 35-piece band performing diverse musical styles from classical to jazz, pop and contemporary music. Several musicians are featured during these performances with exciting instrumental and vocal solos.
The band has represented the Navy throughout Canada at events such as the Beating Retreat Ceremonies in Ottawa, the International Military Band Festival in Quebec City and the Memorial Cup in Kelowna, BC. The band was proud to take part in the 60th Anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France.
The Naden Band has been part of naval tradition on the West Coast since 1940. Formed during World War II, the Naden Band kept up both civilian and military morale with concerts, dances and hundreds of radio broadcasts, and played for base ceremonies, monthly church parades and public parades through the streets of Victoria and Vancouver.
The Nanaimo Military Music Festival Society was formed in 2004 to financially support the music bands of the local military cadet corps and St. John Ambulance cadet corps when it forms a band. It became a registered charity in 2008. It has sponsored the Naden Band Concert here each fall and assisted with advertising the B.C. Cadet Honour Band Concert locally in March since 2004.
