Concerts in the Park: Olde Towne Brass & Huntsville Concert Band

Concerts in the Park will feature Olde Towne Brass and Huntsville Concert Band on Monday, July 17, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in Big Spring International Park, near the corner of Williams and Church Street, in downtown Huntsville. The City of Huntsville will offer free parking in the city’s Parking Garage M with entrances located on Monroe and Church Streets for those attending the “Concerts In The Park” series on Monday night in Big Spring International Park. If you are attending the Concert in the Park performance, please let the parking attendant know when you enter the parking garage. Concert In The Park goers can begin parking in the garage at 5:30 free of charge.

Olde Towne Brass has performed together for the past 16 years. They have performed in 21 states and have been featured in two Ken Burns TV specials. They have also served as the host band for the National Civil War Band Festival and the Great American Brass Band Festival in Danville, Kentucky. They play brass band music from America’s early history on horns that are over 140 years old!

Huntsville Concert Band was founded in 1963 and entertains audiences throughout North Alabama and southern Tennessee. All members of the band are volunteers who donate their time and talents to preserve the tradition of band music that has existed in Huntsville since the late 19th century. They have performed at such events as Memorial Day ceremonies and Pops In the Park concert in Scottsboro. Their music is a delight and always a welcome sound at the Concert series.

This free concert series is open to the public every Monday from Memorial Day through the second Monday of September. Blankets, lawn chairs, and picnics are encouraged. Domino’s Pizza, soft drinks, snacks, and ice cream novelties will be on sale during the concert.

Concerts in the Park is a co-production of the City of Huntsville through its Division of Recreation and Landscape Management and The Arts Council, Inc. For more information, please call 256-519-2787 x 205 or visit them on the web at www.artshuntsville.org.
