The Stadacona Band of the Royal Canadian Navy presented When Duty Called on Sunday, November 7 at the Spatz Theatre in Halifax \u2014 marking the 20th iteration of the Veterans\u2019 Week concert and the band\u2019s first live concert since the pandemic shut down all public gatherings last year.<\/p>\n

Playing to a full house of more than 600 attendees, with more tuning in via Facebook live, the performance offered a new take on the traditional \u2018Til We Meet Again concert.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter last year\u2019s concert needed to be virtual, we are so thrilled to be able to return here today, in person, and we are excited for the band\u2019s newly re-imagined vision for the concert,\u201d said Heather White, director at Camp Hill Veterans\u2019 Services. The concert is presented each year in partnership with the Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Building.<\/p>\n

With special guests DeeDee Austin, a young singer-songwriter from Fall River, NS, and Irene Nash, a Second World War veteran, this year\u2019s concert honoured the many Canadians who have served their country, in particular highlighting the service of those who have not always received the recognition they deserved \u2014 Indigenous veterans, African Canadians and the many women who took on critical roles \u2014 both on the front lines of war, in peacekeeping missions and at home in Canada on domestic operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis 20-year milestone is an appropriate time to witness a re-imagining of the concert, which \u2014 thanks to the Stadacona Band\u2019s vision and creativity \u2014 maintains the essence of the original show, while incorporating new and diverse music and perspectives,\u201d said Captain (Navy) Sean Williams, Base Commander of CFB Halifax in his remarks to the audience.<\/p>\n

Capt(N) Williams also took a moment to acknowledge the person who first envisioned an annual concert during Remembrance Week, LCdr (Ret\u2019d) Pat Jessup, who was in the audience. \u201cMany thanks for your efforts in dreaming up this well-loved concert two decades ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the performance began, Honorary Captain (Navy) Debbie Eisan, who spent 36 years in the RCN, held a smudging and prayer ceremony, taking the time to explain its significance in purifying and cleansing the space and offering a blessing to the people within it.<\/p>\n

DeeDee Austin, accompanied by the Stadacona Band and Mi\u2019kmaq Drummers, performed two of her own pieces: a moving rendition of Buried Truth, a song she wrote in homage to her great-grandmother about the trauma caused by the residential school system, and a debut performance of Call of Duty, commemorating the service of all veterans. Both pieces were arranged by S1 Jack Brownell, a member of the Stadacona Band.<\/p>\n

Through music and video projections on a large screen above the stage, the event paid tribute to veterans \u2014 both of the past and in recent years \u2014 highlighting the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service (WRCNS, also known as the Wrens) for their efforts during the Second World War and the contributions of Black Canadians who served in the the No. 2 Construction Battalion in the First World War, as well as honouring military members who have died in service in recent decades.<\/p>\n
