Annual Sousa/Broadway Band Concert set for July 14 at St. James

The Sousa/Broadway Band Concert will return to the lawn at the Episcopal Church of St. James this Wednesday, July 14 at 7:30 p.m. The free concert will last one hour.

This concert has a history of more than 20 years, but was cancelled last year during the pandemic.

The rain date is the following Wednesday, July 21.

The New Sousa Band is a once-a-year group of musicians who gather under the direction of Martha Boughner to present an old-fashioned concert in the park, featuring marches, Broadway and movie themes, patriotic songs and a few new surprises this year, organizers wrote in an announcement.

"This band concert promises to be a grand reunion of musicians and audience, after the loss of last year’s performance due to the pandemic," organizers wrote.
