The Wheaton Municipal Band celebrates centennial birthdays and special anniversaries on Thursday June 21 at 8PM in Memorial Park,
Nothing is more perfect than a beautiful summer Thursday evening in Memorial Park with the Wheaton Municipal Band, one of the joys of summer in Wheaton. This Thursday June 21 at 8PM, the band celebrates centennial birthdays and special anniversaries. There will be a salute to the Girl Scouts’ 100th year. The Oreo Cookie turns 100 this year and Gene Kelly would be 100 this year. Gene Kelly is best known for his performances in “Singin’ in the Rain,” “An American in Paris,” and “On the Town.” You can bet a medley of his musical favorites will be on the program.
Through his music, composer John Williams celebrates a few milestones as well. It is the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway and the 30th anniversary of “E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial”. The band will play movie music by Williams to commemorate both.
So, come early, settle in and get in the celebratory spirit with the Wheaton Municipal Band on Thursday, June 21 at 8:00 p.m. at Memorial Park in Downtown Wheaton.
