Melbourne Municipal Band, which offers
free concerts at Melbourne Auditorium, is also
stoked for next season.
“We have a very exciting season ahead, where
our audience will be immersed in the theme
of each concert as soon as they step into the
lobby,” MMB conductor Staci Rosbury said. “In
addition to amazing music, we’ll have special
exhibitors and guests relevant to the program,
and we’ll be getting our audience members
involved in activities that help our community,
such as food donations at our holiday concert
and a book drive for kids at our February
concert. The Rock & Roll Revue sock hop in
January will feature classic ’50s and ’60s cars.
It’s going to be a great year.”
