The Carleton Place and District Community Band (website / email) is a volunteer organization of musicians encompassing secondary school students through to Seniors. This group is a direct descendant of the Carleton Place Brass Band which came into existence in the late 1860's, developing into the Carleton Place Citizens' Band in the late 19th century and continuing through to the 1950's. The present incarnation of a community band was created in 1994 by 'Jack' Peckett who directed the group until 2000. The group has grown from 'The Dirty Dozen' original members to a cohesive group of 32 which performs at many community functions throughout the year, always including Canada Day, Morphy's Falls Heritage Festival, Remembrance Day and the Santa Claus Parade. Our annual spring concert is the last Monday of April. As well as these events, we performed 11 other concerts in 2005. New members are always welcome. Rehearsals are Monday evenings from 7:30-9:30 pm at Carleton Place High School (Music Room) September through June and Notre Dame Catholic High School (Music Room) during the summer months.
