Note from the webmaster: We update this web site at least once a week during our summer concert season. Since the program for each Sunday concert is finalized at our rehearsal on Monday evening, we generally post the week's update sometime on Tuesday. Unfortunately, if you are viewing this page on a summer Monday, what follows will undoubtedly be the information for YESTERDAY'S concert.
For those specifically SEEKING web pages from past concerts, our recent concert archives are now available online.

It seems impossible - this will be our final concert of our 2026 summer season! The summer has flown by with amazing speed and we look ahead to the long autumn, winter and spring months when there will be no weekly band rehearsals and concerts to enrich our lives. But, for the Muni Band Foundation board, these months will be filled with the planning of the band's centennial season. So we hope that you, our loyal audience, will join us as we look forward to next year's exciting events. We envision a real celebration and we invite you to come along for the ride as we embark on our next century of service to our community!
As is our custom, this final season concert will be our "round robin" concert during which multiple conductors will take to the podium to perform some of their favorite selections. Along with their music they'll be sharing their thanks for all the people who make our band concerts possible.
Here are the conductors and their selections:
Janel Horn, saxophonist and band director of Edward Stone Middle School will conduct American Barn Dance by Richard L. Saucedo.
Mark Eveleth, trumpeter and retired West Burlington band director, will conduct March of the Belgian Paratroopers by Pierre Leemans, arranged by Charles A. Wiley.
Derrick Murphy, trumpeter and band director of Burlington High School, will conduct Lady of Spain, arranged by Lucien Calliet.
Jeremy Henman, trumpeter and band director of West Burlington High School, will conduct Here's That Rainy Day by Johnny Burke and James Van Heusen, arranged by Bob Lowden.
