Bathurst Community Concert Band put on 2 Kids & Family Concerts (one in English followed by one in French) called "What's That Sound? / Quel est ce son?"
LOTS of smiling faces at this concert for kids! Over 250 people attended between the English and French presentations. Great participation from students throughout the show provided an awesome experience as an introduction to concert band and its many instruments and sounds.

Congratulations to Jenn Keating on winning the logo design contest held in August, 2020!

Amidst the shut down of schools and many other activities due to COVID-19, NBBA held an event called "I Love Band" Video Contest. We were very thankful to those who submitted videos for our prize draw. Below are the results of the draw and all the excellent videos that were submitted. We hope to have similar contests in the future with even more people involved.
