Irondequoit Concert Band - Independence Day Concert - Irondequoit Town Hall

Join us for one of our favorite concerts of the year - our Independence Day concert under the gazebo at the Town of Irondequoit's Independence Day Celebration for food trucks, games, fireworks, and more! Our concert will start run from 8pm to 9:30pm with fireworks following right after.
Student OYIMA award winners from both East Irondequoit and West Irondequoit will join the band for a few pieces and be recognized for their outstanding musical talents.
Last year around this time, the band was celebrating their golden anniversary. They brought out some favorite pieces, both new and old, to symbolize those fifty years of music.
Now, the band has played a lot of music in that time, so many
favorites had to be left out of last year’s concerts. That’s why this year, we’ll hear a whole new selection of classic pieces from the band’s past. But we’re also looking ahead to the future – the next fifty years.
This year’s theme, “Playing It Forward,” is all about building on
that fifty-year foundation. That means continuing to play old
favorites and the classics of the wind band literature, while adding in some exciting newer works. And it also means bringing in new generations of both musicians and audiences.
