Milford Concert Band Presents Free Concert

The Milford Concert Band, under the direction of Duane Berge, will present “Veterans in the Community” in conjunction with the City of Milford’s Office of the Mayor on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 3:00 p.m. at Milford City Hall, 110 River St.

The concert will take place following the Milford’s Veterans Day parade, which will pay tribute to deployed and retired Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, Merchant Mariners and Chaplain stateside and abroad. Several members of the Milford Concert Band are military veterans.

Our program consists of Sousa marches including Semper Fidelis, Pop and Rock medleys from the sixties, seventies, and eighties. Armed Forces Salute is where we turn the spotlight on the vets in the audience. We have two featured pieces, a tribute to the US Navy Band based on the Mariner’s Hymn and Richard Rodgers soundtrack to the miniseries, Victory at Sea.

The concert is free (donations welcome) and open to the public. Milford City Hall is located at 110 River St., across from the Parsons Government Complex. The community is welcome at the end of the parade to meet the band and share in our concert preparations.

The Milford Concert Band is the official community band for the City of Milford.
