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.

This will be another week to come early to the park - our band members have put together a jazz band and we’ll begin the evening an hour earlier than usual with the jazz performance beginning at 6:30. Following the jazz band’s portion of the evening, there will be an intermission while the full band’s equipment is put in place and the full Municipal Band will perform at our normal starting time of 7:30.
