PRACTICE INFORMATION

The Lion Rampant Accordion Band practices at The Army and Navy Club, 408 Gage Avenue in Kitchener. Our band practices are held Sunday afternoons from 1:30pm to 3:00pm. For new members, one of our long time accordionists offers private learning at her home, on evenings throughout the week.

We are currently on break from practices, but will be back at them soon after the summer 2005 break.

From January to March, we pay special attention to the music we play for our annual trip to the Syracuse New York area, for two St. Patrick's Day Parades: one being in Utica, and the other in Syracuse. Some of the special tunes for these parades are:

"America"
"Four Leaf Clover"
"Marine's Hymn" and "God Bless America".

An added perk to this trip is the amazing bond we have formed over many years, with
The Mattydale American Legion Post 1832...also known as "The Friendly Post."

From April to June, we practice our regular parade music.
We play different genres of music, which to name a few include:

War Time tunes -- "Tipperary"
Traditional Scottish tunes -- "Scotland the Brave"
Irish Dancing tunes -- "Lord of the Dance"
Family Tunes -- "Disney Medley"
Oldies Tunes -- "Baby Face" and "5 Foot 2"

From September to November, we work on our Christmas music.
Some of our traditional carols consist of those such as:

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Jingle Bells
Jinglebell Rock
White Christmas and Tell It On the Mountain
