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.
Our conductor will be Arnie Anderson, band director at New London High School. In keeping with the "kid-friendly" nature of this event, Arnie's music choices include many selections which will appeal to kids.
