Glendale's downtown concert series starts June 3
A long-held Glendale tradition continues as the Glendale Community Band kicks off its 44th season June 3 in downtown Glendale.
Sponsored by Glendale’s Office of Special Events, the concerts take place each Thursday at 8 p.m., in the Murphy Park amphitheater, 59th and Glendale avenues. Music lovers of all ages will be entertained by this community band of approximately 100 musicians with its renditions of marches, ballads and show tunes.
The Glendale Summer Band, conducted by John Farris, is the longest- running community band in Arizona. The ages of all-volunteer band members span several generations. The band was formed in 1966, originally playing at O’Neil Park, and moving to Murphy Park when the amphitheater was built.
Bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating. Food, snacks and refreshments will be available for purchase at the concerts, which will go on through July 22.
