Pennsylvania.

We're
30 & Having a Birthday Party!
Come Join the
Celebration!
On July 4th, the
Diamond State Concert Band turns 30! Originally formed
in 1976 for our nation's Bicentenial Independence Day
celebration, the Diamond State Concert Band has
performed at hundreds of venues and more than 1 million
audience members.
This July 4th & 5th, we will
celebrate with back to back performances. On July
4th, we'll play to a large crowd in Marcus Hook. On
July 5th, we will perform a special concert at the
Delaware Art Museum and have birthday party and alumni
reception afterwards. We hope that you will come
and join us and play a song or two. |

Storm the Bastille with
DSCB in Philadelphia!
The Eastern State
Penitentiary (www.easternstate.org
) has asked us to play French and American
favorites (including La Marseillaise, the
French national anthem) at their Bastille Day
re-enactment. This former prison and current
historic site will re-enact the beheading of
French royalty and cake will be had by all.
Seriously, this concert will be on Saturday July 15th at
4pm at 22nd Street and Fairmount Avenue outside the
Eastern State Penitentiary, which is just a few blocks
from the Philadelphia Art Museum and great
restaurants. |

DSCB's CD Release Party -
July 5th!
Our first CD will be
released at the anniversary celebration at the Delaware
Art Museum on July 5th at 6:30pm. Recorded at last
years Veterans' Day concert, this recording of 10 songs tells an
important story about the relationship between WWII and
the music of that era. A PowerPoint presentation
posted on DSCB's website (www.dscb.org ) helps tell
that story. These CDs will be distributed to
schools at no charge; they'll be available from the band
for $10. This project
was made possible by the Delaware Humanities Forum
(www.dhf.org ). |
