Fans of OlB次元官网网址� Blue Eyes and The Genius take note, the Westshore Community Concert band has you covered this Saturday (April 22, 7 p.m.) with its 10th annual Cafe Suite.

Indeed, regular listeners of Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles should leave LangfordB次元官网网址檚 Our Lady of the Rosary Parish Hall satisfied, as the band performs favourites from the famous artists, as well as a host of other popular tunes as part of an evening of fun music in a B次元官网网址渃afeB次元官网网址� style.

B次元官网网址淲e expect to hear the clanking of tea cups and coffee cups and a little bit of chatter,B次元官网网址� noted conductor and Colwood resident Mike Dominy.

Beyond tunes from the two notable entertainers, the audience can expect to hear familiar, fun songs as well as one traditional concert overture, the title of which Dominy and company are keeping under wraps.

A silent auction and door prizes will also be a part of the evening.

Dominy, one of the groupB次元官网网址檚 founders, says the long-standing success of the band B次元官网网址� this is their 15th season B次元官网网址� stems from a dedicated group of core members.

B次元官网网址淟ike every community group, numbers fluctuate. Younger people that may be in university go off somewhere to find jobs and that sort of thing, but weB次元官网网址檝e got a pretty solid core,B次元官网网址� he said.

The group currently numbers in the 40s, an ideal size for Dominy, although they are always accepting new members into the band.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a good mix of people from all of the western communities,B次元官网网址� he said, noting that the skill level ranges from retired professionals to people who learned to play in high school and have a rekindled interest in music.

The latter group tends to struggle a little bit with the music at the beginning as they relearn their instrument, Dominy said.

B次元官网网址淚t takes a little bit of time to get that skill set back, but it is kind of like riding a bike.B次元官网网址� We have some people that havenB次元官网网址檛 played for about 20 years B次元官网网址� they come back and they may struggle a little bit in the first season, but the second season they are playing and theyB次元官网网址檙e sort of matching everything everyone else is doing,B次元官网网址� he said.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e fortunate in that the group is very welcoming and very encouraging.B次元官网网址�

The band can be heard at numerous community events throughout the year, including Remembrance Day, Canada Day and around Christmas. Anyone interested in joining can contact Dominy at conductor@westshoreband.org.
