Metropolitan Silver Band
The Metropolitan Silver Band was founded in 1931 and has been associated with Metropolitan United Church since 1934. The brass band is a special ensemble as it utilises only the instruments of the brass and percussion families. The only brass band that we know of in the United Church of Canada, the Metropolitan Silver Band is a vital part of our music ministry. It rehearses in the Chancel Room on Tuesday evenings and plays during our worship services six times a year. In addition, the Silver Band presents a yearly spring concert and participates in our annual Carols United (carol service) in December. Our concert and service schedule of over 20 performances a year also sees us performing at a variety of churches, seniors' homes, and concert venues in the Greater Toronto Area.
