Bands

The Burlington Teen Tour Band
The Burlington Teen Tour Band (BTTB) started in 1947 in a room on top of a store on Brant St. with 75 young and eager musicians. Since that time the BTTB has grown into Canada's Premier youth marching band. The BTTB marked its 70th anniversary in 2017 and marched in the Jan. 1, 2018 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California.

We encourage any teenager to come out and give it a try! No experience is required, and all playing levels are accepted. Don't play an instrument? No worries! Visit the Burlington Tour Teen Band website for more information.
