Oshawa Civic Band

Oshawa Civic Band

The Oshawa Civic Band began life in 1870 as the band of the 34th Ontario Regiment, and was a traditional Military band. However, as time passed the band evolved into its current configuration of a traditional "British" brass band (similar to those in use by The Salvation Army), which means that all parts, except for the bass trombone and percussion, are in treble clef, and the instrumentation is made up of Eb Soprano Cornet, Solo, 1st/Repiano, 2nd and 3rd Bb Cornets, Bb Flugal Horn, Solo, 1st and 2nd Eb Tenor Horns, 1st and 2nd Baritones, Euphonium, 1st and 2nd (Tenor) Trombones, Bass Trombone, EEb and BBb bass and percussion. All "official" ties with the regiment were cut off in 1968, when the band officially assumed the name of Oshawa Civic Band (after being known as the Oshawa Civic and Regimental Band) and has since become incorporated.
