firefightersband Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services Band Vancouver Overview: Serving Metro Vancouver since 1927, from the Santa Claus Parade to funerals, we represent both the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services and the City of Vancouver with pride. Music: We primarily play swing, big band, concert, and pop music. We also perform marching and ceremonial music for special occasions, including Remembrance Day at Victory Square in Vancouver. History: Originally started in 1927, we believe our band is the longest-running firefighters' band in North America. From 1927 until 2012, we were considered an auxiliary of the VFRS with official status, but in October 2012 we were made an formal unit of the Fire Department. An historic day in the life of an historic band! Service: We are the Official Band of the City of Vancouver, representing the Fire Department in particular. We also support other Metro Vancouver fire departments, community and charity events, and union and corporate occasions. Members: Our members are about an even three-way split between active-duty firefighters, retired and prospective firefighters or members of other branches of emergency services, and civilian members. We are all volunteers. firefightersband’s tracks Anything But Love by firefightersband published on 2014-05-05T16:18:32Z Blackbird by firefightersband published on 2014-05-05T16:18:31Z Kick In The Head by firefightersband published on 2014-05-05T16:18:31Z Look For The Silver Lining by firefightersband published on 2014-05-05T16:18:30Z The Sermon by firefightersband published on 2014-05-05T16:18:25Z Alright, Okay, You Win! by firefightersband published on 2012-11-26T21:19:44Z Ain't Misbehavin' by firefightersband published on 2012-11-26T21:19:44Z Jump Jive and Wail by firefightersband published on 2012-11-26T21:19:44Z I've Got You Under My Skin by firefightersband published on 2012-11-26T21:19:44Z
