This free concert will feature holiday favorites such as March of the Toys, Overture from Miracle on 34th Street, and Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride. For further information about the Encore Concert Band and the complete concert schedule, please visit www.encoreband.org.
Now in its 12th season, the 50+-piece band is conducted by Music Director and Founder, Bill Schuetter, and has developed quite a loyal following in the south suburbs. The Band was also featured in a May 2007 Chicago Tribune article highlighting outstanding suburban arts groups. Along with concerts throughout the winter months such as the Orland Park Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, the Band also plays for the Governor's State University Commencement Ceremonies, the Evergreen Park Summer Concert Series, and the Mokena 4th of July Concert and Fireworks, held annually in Mokena. The Band also continues to play outdoor concerts in the southwest suburbs throughout the summer months. Band members range in age from high school students to adults, and musicians interested in joining are encouraged to sit in with the band at a weekly rehearsal on Thursday nights at 7:00 p.m. at Mokena Junior High School in Mokena.
