Hello to all,
It certainly has been an interesting couple of weeks/months for everyone. The Goderich Laketown Band has not met together since the 9th of March and there are many members that are missing it. We do not know when we will get back together again, but I am sure the members have been practicing regularly. We look forward to performing again as soon as we are able.
A few days ago I received an email from the grandson of Harvey Jenner, conductor of the Goderich band circa 1924. This band was the precursor to our very own Goderich Laketown Band which formed in 1967. Included in the email was this photo taken in front of the old courthouse sometime between 1924 and 1930. This band undoubtedly disbanded due to the second world war and it took until 1967 for it to resurrect itself as the Goderich Laketown Band. Rest assured, the Goderich Laketown Band will be back in action a lot sooner than that! Harvey is the gentleman behind the bass drum
