Community Service 

LOCAL 
            The Concert Band performs twice each year at the Delta Hospital Extended Care Unit (ECU).  Besides offering musical entertainment, several of the society members are also Delta Hospital volunteers at the ECU.  The band takes part in the Summer Concerts-in-the-Park series organized by Delta Parks and Recreation, providing four or five concerts each year as well as a variety of other civic events.  They also play at the annual December Concert at the Genesis Theatre in Ladner.

REGIONAL
            Performances at other events and locations in the Lower Mainland include, Kerrisdale Days, Metrotown Musical Entertainment, Kerrisdale Senior Centre, Crescent Gardens Senior Centre in White Rock, and at various venues for Vancouver’s Concert-in-the-Park series.  Occasionally the band performs for night school ESL classes in Delta and Surrey, forming part of their culturalization curriculum.

            The Society awards a music scholarship to a Delta Senior Secondary student on an annual basis.  It also commissions band music from local, young musicians and composers.
