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.

Our July 13 concert will be a special one. We will be hosting the Roseville Community Band from Roseville, Minnesota and we will share the concert with them. The Roseville band is taking a tour to celebrate their 50th season and they are coming to Burlington because they discovered our band through this website. We are delighted to host their appearance in Burlington – they’ll take a whirlwind tour of the city and we’ll be sharing a meal before the concert.
Ron has chosen a varied program that includes several selections that are new to our band and were purchased this season through a grant from the Burlington Fine Arts League and we thank the League for its generosity! Ron’s selections include Fanfare and Flourishes by James Curnow; Abide With Me arranged by Jay Dawson; Dramatic Prelude by Claude T. Smith; Lincoln from the 2012 motion picture of the same name by John Williams arranged by Jay Bocook; and Bond....James Bond, arranged by Stephen Bulla including the James Bond Theme, Goldfinger, Nobody Does it Better, Skyfall, and Live and Let Die.
