The 589 Air Cadet Band performed at the Annual Inspection on May 29, 2005. They have come a long way from 3 snare drums and an old bass. Interested cadets can now take a course in band at summer camp. This particular band put on a display that lasted at least 20 minutes. All spectators and invited guests were spellbound for the full time. The Band of 589 has not lost its touch.

Many more cadets will enjoy being band members. Of the 1900 cadets gone through 589 at least one third have experienced playing and marching with other band members. After all, band members consider themselves to be "special". The Band is a very integral and important part of the Air Cadet Movement in Canada.
