Lehighton Band to Present Final Summer Concert in the Park — A Celebration of Irish Favorites and Community Music
Lehighton, PA – The Lehighton Band will close out its summer concert series with the third and final performance of the season on Thursday, August 14 at 8:00 PM in the Lehighton Park Amphitheater. This free community concert will feature a lively selection of Irish favorites, along with a special Side By Side performance featuring members of the Lehighton Boys and Girls Band.
In an era when many much larger towns no longer have a single community band, Lehighton is fortunate to have two thriving ensembles. Both the Lehighton Band and the Lehighton Boys and Girls Band are directed by Bradly R. Cressley, who has brought energy and vision to preserving the area’s strong musical traditions.
The evening’s program includes:
The Star-Spangled Banner – Arr. Moffitt
Macnamara’s Band – O’Connor
An Irish Posey – Farnon
– Kerry Dance, The Gentle Maiden, The Wearing of the Green, Londonderry Air
Joy Dance – Arr. Watson (donated to the Band by member Jennifer Mann)
The Irish Washerwoman – Anderson
I’m Shipping Up to Boston – O’Loughlin
McGehee March – Richards
Following this, the Boys and Girls Band will join the Lehighton Band for combined performances of:
Beyond the Seven Hills – Sweeney
Jet Stream – Chattaway
Somewhere Out There – Arr. Clark
I Like Mountain Music – Arr. Norred
If – Arr. Osterling
The Magnificent Seven – Arr. Story
Safari – Ployhar
Sousa Spectacular – Arr. Williams
Audience members can expect an evening of uplifting, toe-tapping, and heartwarming music under the summer night sky. While admission is free, a free-will offering will be accepted to help support the bands and their mission to provide live music to the community.
Benches are available, but guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs or blankets for their comfort.
In the event of rain, the concert will be held at the Lehighton Boys and Girls Band Hall.
Come early, settle in, and enjoy an unforgettable night of community music-making.
