firefightersband

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.
