The Batavia Concert Band’s 90th season of music-making will run this year with free public concerts in Batavia’s Centennial Park. On July 4th, the Band will perform at the annual Picnic in the Park, sponsored by GO-ART!
The Batavia Concert Band’s repertoire is wide ranging in origin, period and style: marches, Big Band and swing numbers; popular songs from musicals and movies; rock favorites arranged for band; classical adaptations; fun songs for kids of all ages, and everything in between.
The Band consists of about 50 brass, woodwind and percussion players ranging from talented local high school students to 60-year veterans. Many have professional experience; the rest are advanced amateur musicians. All love to play.
The Picnic in the Park concert will be conducted by John Kresse.
All concerts are free to the public of all ages. Light refreshments are available. Bring the family, some friends, lawn chairs or a blanket -- and enjoy!
