Our Entertainment

A Chamber Group from “No Strings Attached Community Band” - The NSACB, conducted by Sandra

McMillan, is a non-profit community band composed entirely of dedicated, volunteer musicians. The No

Strings band offers the opportunity for local amateur wind musicians of all ages, from high school students to

retirees, to perform in a full concert band ensemble. They offer a unique performance perspective to the

Sudbury arts community, due to their novel repertoire and mandate. Part of the band's mission is to promote

concert band music locally as well as to educate the public about wind instruments. Their repertoire includes

a diverse selection, ranging from Gustav Holst to a Disney medley, and just about everything in between!

The Chamber Group will perform at around 2:30 pm.
