Each season, the NSYWE meets for three weekends in the late summer and fall, including boot camp, and present a fall concert. The team re-groups in the new year for three more weekends and presents a winter season finale concert during the third weekend.
Approximately 60 musicians play in the NSYWE. Prospective members submit recorded auditions in the spring and those who are accepted into the ensemble are invited to attend a weekend boot camp in late summer.
The NSYWE is fortunate to have an ongoing relationship with the Stadacona Band of the Royal Canadian Navy, and will collaborate with them on our winter concert. Their leadership and role models create an exceptional partnership and environment for hands-on learning and skill development.
