Heritage Concert Band

We regret to announce that tonight’s concert will be canceled due to impending rain, potentially heavy. The Flamingo Brass will appear on our next concert one week from tonight. That will also be our annual Children’s concert! See you there.

We are keeping a close watch on this evening’s weather. It looks like there might be some rain around 6pm but it’s supposed to move through quickly and we believe that the concert will still take place at 7:30 as scheduled. We’ll post again closer to the event.
