Description: The Alton Municipal Band preserves its rich heritage of Concerts in the Park since 1891. Concert-goers enjoy weekly themed free concerts by area top musicians and vocalists. Jojo the Clown is a friendly face to families attending with children. She selects a lucky child to conduct one of the marches and then leads all the children in a parade around the park for added fun. The 9 week summer season is followed by a Grand Finale Concert in the air-conditioned comfort of Hatheway Hall on the campus of Lewis and Clark Community College where the band rehearses every Monday night throughout the concert season. Board members plan and promote performances on Thursdays at 8 pm at Riverview Park in the gazebo and Sundays at 7 pm at Haskell Park in front of the historic Lucy Playhouse. Board members audition musicians each season for placement and work with the Park and Recreation Department to make sure the audience and members of the band experience an unforgettable evening of music in Alton with friends and family. Board members oversee an operating budget for the Alton Municipal Band funded by a city tax levy that provides employment opportunities to area top musicians.
