A Nice Evening for A Concert In The Park!

Some scenes and sounds from last Monday evening, our first show of the 2012 Summer Concerts in the Park series, and also our own City Band Member's BBQ! :) ??On the MP3s we have Celebrate Ontario, a mysterious hand-written score we found in the archives, very likely dating back to the Ontario Bicentennial in 1983, and a positively psychedelic old-time march Slidin' Easy, a trombone feature??that is just way too fun to play. ??The third is the original-score Copa Cabana, a must-have tune for these hot Sydenham summer nights in July!

From now until the end of Summer, the Owen Sound City Band will be performing at the bandstand in Harrison Park every Monday evening except the Civic Holiday weekend, with the July shows starting at 7:30pm and 7:15pm in August. ??We'll also be out at the Queen's Park bandstand downtown on First Avenue West on the third Thursdays of each month; you can come out to listen, or, if you are a player, do come out and sit in with the band! ??We have extra music folders and we'd love to have you in the group -- making music together is what it's all about!
