Goderich Laketown Band will also be cele- brating their 50th birthday this year. For those who grew up in the Canadian school system, 1867 may be branded into your brain, but 1967 - Canada's Centennial Year - was quite the year as well, both in Canada and on the world stage. 1967 was the year "0 Can- ada" took the place of "God Save the Queen" and the Maple Leaf usurped the Union Jack. Aretha Franklin recorded "Respect" and the Beatles released "Penny Lane': The US bombed Hanoi and Muhammed Ali was indicted for refusing to join the military. Both The Newlywed Game and Mister Rogers debuted on TV. The 6 Day War between Israel, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt took place, there was a Mil- itary Coup in Greece, and the first Boeing 737 was unveiled. The first human heart transplant took place and race riots raged throughout the US. It was the year when Charles de Gaulle ruffled some Canadian feathers and the Leafs won their 13th (and last) Stanley Cup. It was also the year when the Goderich Laketown Band was born. In 1967, the Goderich Kinsmen were having no success in finding a hand to participate in the annual July 1st parade. The late Gordon "Gordie" Bannister, gar- age proprietor, fire man, and long time Kinsman, suggested there was enough musical experience in the town to form its own band, and Charles Kalbfleisch, a teacher at GDCI, accepted the position as first bandleader. Don McMillan became the first president and organized a Name the Band con- test that extended to the whole town. George Jenner, the projec- tionist at the local theatre, won for his suggestion of the Lake - town Band. Gordie Bannister arranged for practice space to be made avail- able at the fire hall, then located at the corner of Waterloo and West Streets. Chairs for the musicians came from Kinsman Ed Stiles, the Funeral Direc- tor. The band was made up of members of the former Blue - water Band, some talented high school and elementary school students, and other members of MI= WE ARE PROFESSIONAL GRADE the comrnunity with musical background. In that first Canada Day parade, the band paraded, playing Bobby Gimby's "Canada': Eventually, John Stringer, the principal of GDCI, offered the high school facilities as a loca- tion for rehearsals, and the Laketown Band has been o' erichsi . nalstar.co rer playing music there ever since. It still has two charter members - Don McMillan (trombone) and Jim Peters (baritone saxophone). To celebrate their fiftieth birth- day, the Laketown Band will be holding a special concert on April 30 at 7:30 p.m. at Lakeshore United Church as they take the audience through the past 50 years. They will be playing music from the past including Bobby Gimby's "Canada", and the present, including a brand new commissioned piece called "Snug Barbour", composed by Jeff Smallman. If you remember 1967, or even if you don't, all are welcome.
