A marching, concert & ceremonial band
based in Vaughan that entertains everywhere
Our mission is to enrich community social and artistic life while developing our youth and adult members in a variety of ways. Garnering numerous "Best Band" awards for our performances, both in Canada and in the United States. PHB has been featured on TV networks across North America and in many parts of the World. As an ethnic group, we are honoured to contribute to the enrichment of Canada's multicultural mosaic and to be the centrepiece of Filipino cultural pride in North America.
COLOUR GUARDS
Colour guards carry provincial and national flags and march in cadence with the marching musicians. Majorettes twirl batons or flags in harmony with the marching music. Both are separate sections that complement the marching band by their colourful appearance and graceful movements, making the marching band both aesthetically appealing and entertaining to audiences.
DRUMLINE
The drumline adds a grandiose flavour to the band. It is a group of percussionists (bass drums, snare drums, tenor drums and cymbals) that provides the rhythm in music, keeps marching performers in cadence. After every piece, they takes over with energy-boosting street beats, giving spectators a non-stop band performance along the entire parade route. All percussion instruments and accessories are provided by PHB.
INSTRUMENTALISTS
Instrumentalists are a full complement of woodwind, brass, and lyre percussion performers which form the musical nucleus of the band. They are a mix of youth and adults, working together to deliver quality performance for a given event. Members provide their own instrument by buying/renting from a music store or borrowing from their school with permission from their music teacher.
