Join us and kick off your Memorial Day weekend with The Newmont Military Band in Rotary Park.

The Newmont Military Band, brought together by Larry Jones, of Windsor, Vermont, actually began as a cornet band, and was formed in 1995 as a re-creation of a small-town brass band of the late 1800s. A couple of years later, the clarinets were added. Most of the brass instruments played by the musicians in the NMB are originals, i.e., were either manufactured prior to, or based on, designs drawn before 1895. These brass instruments—cornets (not trumpets), alto horns, tenor horns, baritone, and tubas—have a more mellow sound than many of today’s brass instruments, and they require a different level of skill to produce the sound so indicative of the old-time bands.

Bring your blanket or lawn chair and join us for this free concert.
