The Hilton-Parma Gazebo Band is beginning its 28th season. Under the direction of Dr. Charles Schmidt, the band began rehearsals in March at the Hilton Commmunity Center. The band will perform six free summer concerts at 7 p.m. primarily on Wednesday evenings, June 20 through July 25, at the Gazebo in front of the Hilton Community Center, 59 Henry Street. There will be no concert on Wednesday, July 4. Instead, the annual Patriotic Concert will be held on Tuesday evening, July 3. The band will feature a number of instrumental and vocal soloists and sections from within the band during the season.
Community service and life-long music learning are primary objectives of the band. Comprised of adult, amateur musicians from the surrounding area, the Gazebo Band has entertained summer concert goers throughout its 28-year history. The band plays a wide variety of traditional concert band music including show tunes, marches, dances, and pop music. Adult musicians interested in joining the band can contact Mary Reazor at 392-9725 after 10 a.m. (or leave a message).
