Sarnia Citizen’s Band

In 1935, the Sarnia's 27th regiment was disbanded, and the Sarnia group that used to be called the Independent Band was renamed the Sarnia Citizens Band. They continued to play music for the Sarnia community and beyond. That included open air summer church services, joining other bands like the Salvation Army Band, Robinson's Boys Band, and Pressey Boys Band. William Brush was the bandmaster and remained so until his passing in 1957.

In the late 1970's, Art Christmas, the music director at Alexander MacKenzie school, became the director of the Sarnia Citizens Band. By this time, the Sarnia Citizens Band was playing summer concerts, at city and local functions, and at special ceremonies, like Canada Day and Remembrance Day.
