Free outdoor concert July 1 by Sandburg community band

Celebrate the spirit of our nation with a free outdoor patriotic concert by the Sandburg community band at 7 p.m. July 1 on the college’s Galesburg campus.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy a music-filled summer evening along the lake outside Building E. Patrons are welcome to bring their own food and (non-alcoholic) drinks. Members of the Sandburg Art Club will be on hand to provide free face painting. In case of inclement weather, the concert will take place in the theater (F118).

In its first year, the Sandburg community band is an opportunity for area musicians of all ages and instruments — whether they play every day or haven’t played in years — to have fun making music together. If you’re interested in joining, complete an interest form at sandburg.edu/communityband.
