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.

Comedy Tonight! (Well, actually it’s next week)
Wednesday, May 15th, 2024
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!

We’re back for real!
Tuesday, November 29th, 2022
If y
ou’ve missed us as much as we’ve missed you, then you don’t want to miss our concert next week, aptly titled, What We Missed. You’ll get a sampling of tunes from all the concerts that never happened. A little bit of holiday music, some patriotic tunes, even some music that would have been on our children’s Halloween concert! This 60-piece band is back for its first live performance since March of 2020, and Director Donna Kummer and Announcer Gladys Chmiel can’t wait to see you all again! Tickets are $5 and there will be treats following the concert.
