As they wrap up their 22nd season, the Montgomery County Concert Band invites you to their annual fall concert on Sunday, November 20 at 3 p.m. at Souderton Area High School. Featuring the music of early concert bandmasters like Vaughn Williams, Alfred Reed, Malcom Arnold, Clifton Williams, Frank Erickson and more, the band looks forward to performing these favorites for the community. The band is directed by Charles Neidhardt, former Music Department Chairperson for the Methacton School District, assisted by Ryan Pongras, Elementary Music Educator in the Souderton School District, and Bret Mascaro, former Music Educator at Methacton.
Further information about the Band as well as directions to Souderton Area High School located at 625 Lower Road, can be found at www.montcoband.org. The concert is free and open to the public and the facility is handicap accessible. Free will donations will be accepted. The Band is also collecting canned goods to benefit Manna on Main Street, so please bring a non-perishable food item to donate.
The band is comprised of close to 80 area musicians who volunteer their time and talent to bring high quality music performance to the community. Since its founding in 1995, the band has performed over 250 concerts for community parks and retirement communities as well as a formal spring and fall concert each year. For the past two years, the band has also sponsored a community band festival, bringing the talents of several community bands to the area. That next concert is slated for February 26.
