Join us this Thursday night for our annual Christmas Concert!
There is no concert on August 18th, due to set up for Festival of the Little Hills, but we WILL be playing for the Festival on Saturday, from 10:-11:30, so stop by and see us between your purchases.
Please see the following message from Band President, Sister Gail Buckman, and the Board of Directors;
“A Band concert will be cancelled if a forecasted heat index is 100 degrees or above at 6:00 pm. If this criterion is met, the concert will be cancelled by 2:00 pm that afternoon. Please check the website if you have any doubt about the concert being held.
The heat index is the temperature in the shade, and although many of us are in the shade, some of the band is not at a certain time of the evening, and our audience certainly isn’t in the shade.
Rain cancellations will be determined as conditions arise. An early cancellation may occur if there are severe thunderstorm warnings or tornado warnings in the forecast.
The Band always wants you, our audience, to feel safe and comfortable attending our concerts.”
Due to the excessive heat warning, the Big (Jazz) Band concert for tonight, June 12th, has been cancelled. We look forward to seeing you in July!
After a THREE year hiatus due to flooding and then COVID, the Saint Charles Municipal Band will return to Frontier Park for the 2022 Summer Concert Series!
The band will play every Thursday night in June, July, and August on the Jaycee Stage Pavilion with a new concert start time of 7:30 pm.
Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, food/drink and meet us, “Down By the Riverside!”
The Municipal Band was honored with a Proclamation by Mayor Borgmeyer at the July 7 , 2020 City Council Meeting. A video of the presentation can be viewed by clicking the following link:

Come out to hear the St. Charles Municipal Band Thursday, July 18 at 8PM.
Program highlights include “Bases on a Rampage”, “The Big Cage”, and a tribute to Glenn Miller, “In a Miller Mood”. We will end our program as usual, with a Sousa march, this time it will be “Who’s Who in Navy Blue”.
Once again we are relocating to the Vistor’s Center parking lot directly across the street from the Frontier Park Band Shell. Hopefully we will be back on stage soon, but not until the stay off the grass signs are pulled from park grounds.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Thank you, MTC Driver Training Crew for providing the truck (and decorating it) for today’s parade!
Thank You MTC! You are the driving force behind each of our parades!
