Jefferson’s Community Band to perform in June 26th gazebo concert
It is with great pleasure and pride that the Jefferson Arts Committee’s Gazebo Committee announces that The Jefferson Township Community Band will open the 2009 free summer concert series on Friday evening, June 26th at 7 PM at the gazebo located in the Jefferson Township Municipal Complex, 1033 Weldon Road, Lake Hopatcong, NJ.
The Band is composed of enthusiastic every day people of all ages who enjoy music, performing, and continuing their musicianship. In existence since 1992 under the direction of Pete Tummillo, a former band director at the Jefferson Township High School, the band continues to broaden its horizons, challenge itself with new music, and recently added a jazz band component to its list of accomplishments.
Their music encompasses the classics, Broadway musicals, standard marches, and patriotic salutes. Membership is open to all regardless of age and musicianship and there are no auditions.
Attendees are asked to bring a blanket or chair for their comfort; and non-alcoholic beverages, picnic dinners, and snacks are permitted on the grounds unless the concert is moved indoors due to weather conditions. Everyone is asked to please take their trash with them when they leave.
In the event of the threat of inclement weather or such weather, the concert will be moved just up the street to the auditorium of the Jefferson Township High School, 1010 Weldon Road. For information and updates, log on to www.jeffersonarts.org, www.jeffersontownship.net, or call 973-697-3828 to inquire.
Come out on Friday evening, June 26 – what a great way to end the week. Remember, dancing and singing along is always encouraged at the summer concerts!
