Summer concerts in Racine at the Zoo
The Racine Concert Band will again perform a series of summer concerts at the Racine Zoo on Sunday evenings beginning on June 30. The concerts will run every Sunday evening at the amphitheater through Sunday August 11.
Each week is a different program and theme. The music will range from light classical to Broadway Show tunes to music from the movies. And every concert will include at least one march.
These concerts are a great way to introduce young people to classical music. The concerts are about an hour long (maybe a tad longer) and feature lighter, shorter pieces. And if the young one's energy level is very high, there is a playground just at the top of the hill.
This year, RCB brings back the Racine Concert Band Quiz and the Summer Sweepstakes Spectacular! When you enter the quiz (a question of useless information), the correct answers are put in a drawing for an American Flag provided by Ace Heating and Cooling. But all answers, correct or not, are entered into the Sweepstakes for a great prize given away at the last concert. If you come each week and enter each quiz, you have many chances to win the big prize.
The concerts in June and July begin at 7:30, while the concerts in August begin at 7 PM. The easiest way to enter the zoo on Sunday evenings is at the east end of Augusta Street near Lake Michigan, but you can also enter from Main Street. And, please keep in mind that the Zoo grounds themselves are not open during and after the concert.
Hope to see you at one (or all) of the concerts at the Racine Zoo by the Racine Concert Band. Happy Summer!

The first concert of the season is in Shorewood!
The Shorewood Concert Band will perform at the Chicken BBQ hosted by the Shorewood Men's Club. The annual (and quite delicious) event will be held, rain or shine, at Atwater Park on Saturday June 8. The park is at the corner of Capitol Drive and Lake Drive, and chicken will be served all day.
The band will be the first of the entertainment groups to perform, beginning about noon for about an hour. Other groups will also perform later in the day. The chicken will again be prepared by Rupena's, and in my opinion, there is none better! Enjoy some chicken in the park, or take some home for the family, and you will also be supporting a different groups in Shorewood, including the concert band.
See you there!

A Summer Tradition continues
Chill On The Hill returns to Humboldt Park this summer. And with it comes the continuation of a summer tradition: a concert by the Milwaukee American Legion Band.
The Legion Band will perform on Tuesday July 2 with a concert of patriotic tunes and music from Broadway and the movies. They have been playing at Humboldt Park as long as I can remember. The concert is always fun and worth attending.
And the week before, the Milwaukee Symphony performs at the Chalet stage. This is a great way to catch the MSO in a nice setting, and a wonderful way to introduce the younger ones to symphonic music. Mark these dates on your calendar.
And here is the schedule for all of the concerts at Chill On The Hill for 2019 courtesy of OnMilwaukee.com.
