There will be two performances, the first on Friday, December 3 at the Rockport Methodist Church; the second on Thursday, December 9 at the Rockport Congregational Church.. Both programs will begin at 7:00 P.M. Please join us either night for an evening of holiday music and good cheer.

On Sunday, August 22, the Rockport Legion Band welcomes Creagan More Pipes and Drums for a joint concert on the bandstand at Rockport's Back Beach. The 7:00 P.M. program is free to the public and will be the second year that the two groups have joined forces. Last year's performance received rave reviews, and we expect that this performance will equal the last. If you like the pipes, you should not miss this show.

Drive an hour and come up for the day. Enjoy Rockport, then stay a bit late. The Rockport Legion Band will present the sixth concert in its 2010 concert series on the band stand at Rockport's Back Beach.

Jason Howard leads the band this week. Planned music includes selections from both "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Dances with Wolves"; marches by Hall, Sousa, Jewell, and Huff; a suite of ballet music by Jacques Offenbach; song medleys by Vincent Youmans and Johnny Mercer; plus some swing, ragtime, Italian songs and show tunes from Broadway.

If you plan to be on Cape Ann for July 4 this year, and you are a wind band musician who'd like to join in a traditional small-town bonfire celebration for the holiday, come down to Back Beach in Rockport with your instrument and join us.

It is suggested that you park at the "Park and Ride" lot at the top of Great Hill and take the trolley into town because parking will be at a premium. Further information is available on the Rockport Legion Band web page located at:
