The Wakefield Summer Band, now in its 10th season of giving free summer concerts for the community, is open to anyone without audition, and presents 4 concerts each summer in a (usually) Friday night series at the bandstand. Our first was July 1, and next 3 are this Friday, 7/22, Aug. 12, and Aug. 26. All start at 7 PM except the last one, which we have to move up to 6:30 due to less daylight. The membership of the band is multi-generational, with members ranging in age from high school to 70's, and is primarily aimed at high-schoolers or college students who want to keep playing over the summer and post-college musicians who otherwise wouldn't get to play in any kind of a group like this.
Our repertoire ranges from Sousa marches to Broadway selections to patriotic music to arrangements of classical repertoire to novelty pieces.
Grab the kids, a neighbor, a chair or blanket, and head on down to this fun, free, Friday festivity!
