Information received from Heather Probert:
The Stittsville Concert Band welcomes new members and is interested in hearing from musicians who can play at least at a high school level, and read music. They rehearse on Mondays, and play regular concerts through the year in the community. If you would like to try playing in a community band, contact the manager, Christine Philipson, who can tell you more about the band and whether there might be a spot for your instrument.
Her contact info is  c.philipson@sympatico.ca
You can also find info on the range of music the band plays, and on upcoming concerts, at the band website at
