The
Springfield Municipal Band was founded by referendum in
1936.
The Band performs a number of free park concerts at
Douglas Park
each summer and also performs at many military and civic
events during the year.
Of the
fifty or more members, most are professional musicians, music
teachers or college students majoring in music.
Membership is by audition.
The Municipal Band's
normal summer schedule includes weekly concerts on
Tuesday evenings in the Douglas Park band shell.
Other appearances are scheduled as requested, primarily
around holidays such as the Fourth of July, Memorial Day
and Veterans Day.
