Oskaloosa City Band To Perform This Evening

City Band

The Oskaloosa City Band will perform on the bandstand Thursday night at 8 p.m. This week’s program includes: Cole Porter’s classic Begin the Beguine, along with marches by Karl King and John Philip Sousa. The young and young at heart will enjoy a recent hit from the movie, Frozen, and a medley of theme songs from Looney Tunes cartoons.

The band will play weekly Thursday evening concerts through August 6. Bring your lawn chairs or blankets and invite a friend or a neighbor to enjoy a favorite Oskaloosa summer tradition. Each week, refreshments are provided, free of charge, by area businesses including: Hawkeye Real Estate (beverages), TruBank (popcorn), and SnoBiz (snow cones).

Next week’s concert, on July 2, will feature patriotic tunes to celebrate our nation’s independence.
