This Week's Concert
June 8, 2014
Note from the webmaster:  We update this web site at least once a week during our summer concert season.  Since the program for each Sunday concert is finalized at our rehearsal on Monday evening, we generally post the week's update sometime on Tuesday.  Unfortunately, if you are viewing this page on a summer Monday, what follows will undoubtedly be the information for YESTERDAY'S concert.
For those specifically SEEKING web pages from past concerts, our recent concert archives are now available online.

Jacob Davis
Our second summer concert will be conducted by Aldo Leopold band director Jacob Davis.  Jacob is a percussionist and when not conducting will be heard playing snare drum, bass drum, bells, xylophone, or any of the multitude of “traps” that percussionists employ.  In addition to the Burlington Municipal Band, Jacob performs with the Southeast Iowa Symphony and the Southeast Iowa Band.
Next week's concert will be conducted by Ted Francis
