Posted: May 30, 2010 - Fans of brass bands and musical evenings will be delighted to learn of the Westwinds Brass Band's concerts in the park happening on Sundays this summer at Wagner Park.



"It's just an hour of old-fashioned band music and a time for people to get together outside and listen to music," said the band's director, Phil Anthony.


The free concerts are intended to enhance the sense of community and to bring friends and family together for an evening. Anthony said concert attendees typically take lawn chairs, blankets or picnic suppers in order to make the event more comfortable and special.


The band will perform at Wagner Park's picnic pavilion, at Elgin Avenue and 26th Street, for seven consecutive Sundays thanks to sponsorship by the Tech Terrace Neighborhood Association.


Anthony said the band will play traditional band music including marches and patriotic songs to entertain visitors to the park during the hourlong performances.


In addition, the event will have a featured soloist each week, and will play children's marches to encourage children to take part in marching and dancing to the music.
