August 11
Hometown favorite performers playinBg well-known favorite tunes – that’s the St. Johns Community Band’s plan for its Aug. 11 Concert in the Park show at the St. Johns City Park Performance Shell. The talented local musicians take the stage at 7 p.m. for the free show that’s part of the weekly summer music series.
The group that formed in 2004 is set to begin its seventh season this fall. Upwards of 30 members, aged 16 to 60-plus, play at various community functions and events throughout the year. The all-volunteer band is conducted by Roy Davis, director of bands for St. Johns Public Schools, assisted by Dave Link.
Concert goers will enjoy the wide range of music performed by the St. Johns Community Band, Link says, adding that “new members are always welcome.”
The band meets every Tuesday evening at St. Johns High School throughout the school year; practices begin at 7 p.m.
Concert in the Park is sponsored by the Clinton County Arts Council and the city of St. Johns, with support from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Concerts are held each Wednesday evening in the beautiful outdoor concert venue at the St. Johns City Park. The St. Johns Lions and Lioness Club staff a concession stand each week that offers light refreshments. All concerts are held rain or shine.
