Week 7 - July 22 Concert

The Chemical City Band will present its 7th concert of the 2026 season on Wednesday, July 22 at the Nicholson-Guenther Community Band shell in Midland's Central Park, starting at 7:30 PM.  The weather is looking good tomorrow, but smoke from Canada is still a possibility.  We do not have access to Central Auditorium this week, so concert cancellation could result.  Please check this blog or our Facebook page for last minute updates.  Because this is the last concert of the season, musicians must turn in their music folders and pick up checks at the band shell, even if the concert is cancelled.

Steve DeRees is conducting this final concert, but will be stepping down from the position of Music Director.  Next year you may see him performing in the saxophone or tuba sections of the band.  Tonight he will present the following musical selections:
