Area Community Concert Band to perform

VW independent/submitted information

On Friday, May 27, the Van Wert Area Community Concert Band will present a concert in the band shell of Fountain Park in Van Wert. The program will begin at 7 p.m. and is free to the public.

Music performed during the concert will include patriotic selections that are intended to reflect, revitalize, and rekindle the pride that each American has as citizens of the best country in the world: the United States of America. A few of these selections include a Bruce Springsteen medley, “The Minnesota March” by John Philip Sousa, and “Fanfare for the Everyday Super Heroes”, which will honor those that make a daily difference in our lives.

Area military personnel and veterans will also be honored with a “Salute To America’s Finest”.

No food stand will be available, so those attending may choose to dine at one of our local eateries. Bring a coat; it may be cool. In the event of inclement weather, the program will be held across the street in the sanctuary of First United Methodist Church.

Join the band, directed by Richard Sherrick and featuring members from Van Wert, Elgin, Delphos, Convoy, Chattanooga, Middle Point, Spencerville, and Rockford, for this special concert.
