St. Marys Station Gallery
There was a time when to say, "I'm going to play my music," didn't mean push a button or stream a video. It meant the person was proficient on a musical instrument, or several, and was about to play something. In the 1930s and 1940s, live music played by big bands was the predecessor of today's rock concert. Young people would flock to large auditoriums, or even stadiums, to hear the live music of one of these bands.
These orchestras consisted of about 15-25 woodwind, brass and stringed instruments, along with a very busy drummer. Because the music was often up-tempo, swing music, these concerts were also dances. Bandleaders like Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman could easily fill an arena or Carnegie Hall. They often had their own radio programs. The St. Marys Station Gallery will present an exhibition called Memories of the Big Band Era, beginning on Nov. 9. Curator

Canadians across the country gathered on Monday to show their respect for members of our armed forces who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and who are still serving our nation. At the St. Marys cenotaph, a large crowd gathered for the Ceremony of Remembrance hosted by the Town of St. Marys. Mayor Al Strathdee shared some opening remarks recognizing the sacrifice of those who fought in battle and why we honour them. Deputy Mayor Brogan Aylward, who spoke on behalf of Perth-Wellington MPP Matthew Rae, shared with the crowd a reading called “And Death Shall Have No Dominion.” Following this heartfelt story, Rev. Pirie Mitchell offered a prayer and then Rita Christie, representing Perth-Wellington MP John Nater, read the famous poem, “In Flanders’ Fields.” On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, “Last Post” was played followed by two minutes of silence and the Lament and Rouse. We pause during this time to honour those brave Canadians. Following the rouse, Fire Chief Richard “Andy” Anderson read “New Heroes,” a piece about paying tribute to fallen comrades and how it doesn’t matter how one feels about war, the fact is these soldiers paid the ultimate price for our freedom and should be honoured. The Benediction was read by Rev. Pirie
