Burlington Teen Tour band will do a march through the Spencer Smith Park sometime around 4:30 Friday afternoon (September 1st). Time not exact yet and it is rather impromptu.
Since its humble beginnings in 1947, the Burlington Teen Tour Band has grown into Canada's oldest and largest youth marching band.
The youth members of the Band will be asking for donations at the gate on Friday. We have never done anything like that since the Flood relief ask, because we, as the Rotary Club want to respect our long tradition of Ribfest being a free festival. We feel the time is right again to reach out to the public and request financial support for some of Burlington's charities. - especially those who give us, its residents, a sense of pride. The Teen Tour Band provides all of us with bragging rights.
So, expect to see them at the gates on Friday. Even a looney, a tooney helps! We will take more too!
