Patriotic Favorites
May 7, 2018
You are invited to Tosaband’s 4th performance this season which highlighs great American works, Nelhybel’s Trittico, Gould’s American Salute, and Copland’s Lincoln Portrait with narration by the beloved Gladys Chmiel. The saxes are also performing the Barnum and Bailey March written by Karl King.
Scratch that crazy itch and get yourself some Wauwatosa Community Band Spirit… (otherwise you’ll have to wait until Fall for another performance by the best band in the land). Come for music. Come for fun. Come for cookies! Yes, there will be a reception following the concert in the lobby.
Admission is the usual, $5 for Adults and $3 for Kids and Seniors. We will be performing in the Longfellow Middle School Auditorium. For directions or additional information, see our About page.
Please help us promote our concerts by sharing our Facebook event! We really appreciate your support!

Thanks to Donna for all her hard work as our conductor. Thanks to Gladys, the best announcer, EVER! Thanks to our band President, Bev for the Presidential things she does to organize us all. Thanks to the band members for handling the posters, lobby refreshments, media and advertising, and all other volunteer efforts. And special thanks to all our wonderful audience members. Thank you so much for your continued support!
