GALESBURG — Celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence with a free outdoor patriotic concert by the Sandburg community band at 7 p.m. July 2 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, and Carnival Delights will have food for sale on site. A free, temporary glitter tattoo station will also be available.
In case of inclement weather, the concert will take place in the theater (room F118).
Now in its second 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.
