Spring Concert Like You’ve Never “SEEN”
Monday, May 18th, 2026
The Wauwatosa Community Band will be presenting their Spring Concert on May 19th, 2026 at 7:30pm at our usual venue at Longfellow Middle School.
But you have never SEEN a concert like this.
The main attraction will be Pictures at an Exhibition, by Modeste Mussorgsky, which is a multi-movement work where each section is based on a different work of visual art. Oboist and graphic design genius Charlie Marsh has created an interactive media experience to accompany the band’s performance, which mean we actually WANT you to bring your phone or device, and WATCH them during our concert! You’ll SEE the paintings, PROMENADE thru the hallways, and READ tidbits of information about the paintings and music throughout our performance. So bring your phones or tablets with you! We’ll have some tech experts to help if you’ve never scanned a QR code before, but you can always just type in the address.

Halloween Concert in the Ghastly Gymnasium
Thursday, October 24th, 2024
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.
