Week 1 - June 22 Concert

The Chemical City Band will perform its first concert of the 2016 season on Wednesday, June 22 at the Nicholson-Guenther Community Band Shell in Midland's Central Park, starting at 7:30 PM.

Parking will be a challenge this summer due to renovation work at Central Middle School.  While that parking lot will be closed, several options are available on Collins St. towards the Midland Community Center.  The first is just off the street, while the second is "over the hill" from the band shell.  Also, the lot at Memorial Presbyterian Church is open, but is a longer walk along Rodd St.

Under the direction of our new conductor, Steve DeRees, the band will play the following selections:

Carnegie Anthem.......................................................William Owens
