Since 1966 The BATURYN CONCERT MARCHING BAND (under the Ukrainian Youth Association of Canada) has proudly celebrated the culture of Ukraine with a full repertoire of traditional and contemporary music. As proud ambassadors in the Ukrainian-Canadian community, BATURYN continues to entertain while educating young and old in the music of their ancestral land. BATURYN band members perform year-round dressed in striking uniforms that display the colours of the Ukrainian flag. The band regularly participates in cultural and social events, parades, concerts and festivals, including: the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, the Toronto St. Patrick's Day Parade, the Toronto Ukrainian Festival, the Montreal Ukrainian Festival, Ukrainian Independence Day festivities and annual UYA functions in Canada and the USA. In 2004 BATURYN traveled to Alberta to participate in the Calgary Stampede. BATURYN has truly succeeded through the hard work and dedication of its volunteer members comprised of individuals of all ages. Building on its strong pedigree, The BATURYN CONCERT MARCHING BAND looks proudly to the future and continues forward with its honourable legacy of celebrating Ukrainian music! |
