Dear Music Educator,
I would like to invite you to the Okanagan Concert Band Festival in beautiful Penticton, BC. The festival will take place on March 12 and March 13, 2024 at the Penticton Trade and Convention Center. The format for the festival will be the same as last year with each band having a 30-minute warm-up and a 30 minute time slot for their performance and then a 30 minute session with an adjudicator followed by a photo opportunity with the festival photographer.
We are using a local photographer this year and the cost of the photos is included in the registration.
There is no cut-off date for entry into the festival.
When we reach 26 groups, the waiting list begins. I have included a registration form that can be filled out online (see FORMS tab) and then you need to mail the cheque for the festival as well as your concert tickets if applicable. I will forward you a confirmation of registration upon receipt. The Sandman Hotel Penticton will again help to support the festival and is an excellent place to stay (1-250-493-7151). Please check out the Accommodation that the Sandman is able to offer.
Sincerely,
Justin Glibbery
