Week 2 - June 19 Concert

UPDATE: The concert tonight will be shortened due to the predicted heat index.  We will not perform the Legends and Heroes Suite.  The normal band setup will be offset slightly to maximize shade from the sun.  

The Chemical City Band will perform its second concert of the 2024 season on June 19 at the Nicholson-Guenther Community Band Shell in Midland's Central Park, starting at 7:30 pm.  The current forecast is sunny with a high of 93 degrees, so please plan appropriately.  In case of rain, the concert moves to Central Auditorium.  Please check this blog or our Facebook page for last minute updates.
