What is more American than apple pie? Perhaps a summertime Sunday afternoon band concert in the park.

On Sunday, July 30, 2023, The Illinois Brass Band will be performing a free concert at First United Methodist Church of Arlington Heights; 1903 E Euclid Avenue; Arlington Heights, IL at 3:00 PM. The performance will take place on the "Wesley Lawn" (west lawn) of the church. Ample parking is available.

Concert-goers are asked to bring their own chairs or blankets. Picnic lunches or snacks are also encouraged, but please, no alcohol. In the event of inclement weather the performance will move indoors.

The performance will feature light summer concert fare, including marches, show tunes, pop features, a salute to our veterans, and other summertime favorites.

The Illinois Brass Band is a 30 member British style brass band in its 32nd year of performing and is a six time national champion of the North American Brass Band Association. The band is a 501(c)(3) recognized organization and is supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
