The Sailors and Songs Roadshow is a lively musical tribute to 100 years of the Canadian Navy and it’s coming to Victoria’s Royal Theatre June 23 and June 24. Performed by the Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific with accompaniment from vocalists Ken Lavigne and Stephanie Greaves, it’s wowing crowds from coast to coast with music, lights, and visual displays that rekindle the many years of naval history being cel- ebrated this year. “The roadshow is going across Canada with approximately 50 concerts this year and the Naden Band is performing for 23 of them from Thunder Bay west to Victoria,” said Navy Centennial Roadshow project manager PO2 Edith Eaton. The Stadacona Band will handle the eastern region with their own version of Sailors and Songs. “This is more of a show than a concert. We take the navy through 100 years of history using music and songs and multimedia visual presentations.” The premise behind the show is to enter- tain the audience and build awareness and pride of the navy and of Canada. Chronologically the Roadshow begins with black and white still photos and leads up to motion pictures in the end. “We start with music of the 20s and then play big band, disco and cover the development of music throughout the last 100 years. We do a World War One medley and play songs EA Photography that were popular in the Second World War The Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific is taking its show on the road, performing 23 concerts across Canada to as well.
