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.

We are particularly pleased to take the opportunity this week to recognize an amazing achievement on the part of one of our band members. Clarinetist Sue Kristensen, the band's longest-tenured member, is now in the midst of her 70th season as a member of the Burlington Municipal Band! Sue not only continues to play the clarinet, but she continues to play it with style and artistry of the highest level! Though Sue abhors "making a big deal about it," her daughter Jane and granddaughter Keri, both clarinetists, will be playing with the band, and we will have a short "moment of recognition." You'll just have to deal with it, Sue! Our sincere congratulations for your amazing contribution to Burlington's musical heritage!
