tidewater concert band
Saturday, May 19, 2012 4 p.m.
The Tidewater Concert Band has provided musical entertainment for Hampton Roads VA since 1971. The band is made up of volunteers of al
l ages. The band was organized in Portsmouth, VA in February of 1971 by the late David Mitchell, a longtime band director at Churchland High School. David called on former band students, local band directors and other interested local musicians in the area to form a fully-instrumented top-notch community band. The band did a centerpiece performance at Yorktown's Bicentennial Celebration in 1976. The band has gone through many phases and musicians throughout its long history, but continues today to provide quality music to the community. The band provides music for the graduation ceremonies of Tidewater Community College and Eastern Virginia Medical School. The band performs at local parades, celebrations, art shows, festivals, as well as provide entertainment at local retirement and nursing homes. The concert – weather permitting – is outside on the back lawn of Reformation. Picnic boxes will be available for $10.00 by pre-ordering or calling 757-249-0374. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy an afternoon of rousing patriotic music to honor Armed Forces Day and other popular selections. The concert is open to the public. A free-will offering will be received.
