Here comes your band

The public is invited to enjoy an evening of live music by a traditional concert band during this week’s Springfield Municipal Band Concert at Douglas Park. The concerts, which occur at the band shell every Tuesday through August 4, have been a Springfield tradition since the band was founded via referendum in 1936. The band is overseen by the Municipal Band Commission along with the mayor of Springfield, and is currently directed by Tom Philbrick. The Springfield Municipal Band is proud to blend patriotic, pop, big-band and familiar jazz music in a format that the entire family can enjoy. Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, plus a picnic dinner and enjoy the show.
