Do you love a band concert, but hate that there’s not enough silliness? Well, have we got the show for you! Please join us on Tuesday, when we’ll have a variety of great music for the adults (including a howl-along?!), and so much entertainment for the kiddos. We’ll have a costume parade, audience participation, skits, narration, and of course, treats afterwards! If you’ve always wanted to take your kids to a concert, but fear them being wiggly or making too much noise, this is a great opportunity–we don’t care about that stuff! We want you to come, have a great time being ridiculous while enjoying great music, get sugared up, then take those kiddos home!
PLUS, you can get one more use out of that Halloween costume they only wore for a few hours: everyone in costume gets in FREE! Tickets for the non-costumed adults are $5 and non-costumed kids and seniors are $3.
Tuesday, October 29th @7:00pm – 8:15pm-ish

The Wauwatosa Rec Department online system can be a bit challenging. Here are instructions to help you get signed up so you can send membership payments online. PLEASE NOTE that you can only register for the full year of band through the online portal. If you need to register for just one semester, you will have to contact the rec department directly.

Our Spring Concert, titled Comedy Tonight! is less than a week away! Come out for a thoroughly enjoyable night with pieces truly showing the full gamut of what this band is capable of. We have some absolutely hilarious pieces by P.D.Q. Bach, and some Disney favorites. At the other end of the scale, we have Circus Franticus, and Holst’s Jupiter!
You have never been to a concert like this. If you think concert bands only play serious music, get ready to laugh out loud. If youâve ever wondered what a trumpet mouthpiece sounds like by itself, you are in for a treat. If you think that a group of âamateursâ canât play anything difficult, weâre about to blow you away.
Follow us on facebook to get some cute little previews of our music!
