With a new venue, the Hutchinson Municipal Band can perform, rain or shine, using the HCC Recital Hall. The band members saw the opportunity to provide a higher quality and consistent experience through an expanded partnership with Hutchinson Community College. Kim Ivanovich, chair of the Fine Arts department, and Eric Stambaugh, concert band director of HCC, have been instrumental in using the facility. The band is grateful for their expanded support, which makes this new venue possible.
Now in its 150th year, the Hutchinson Municipal Band continues its longtime service to the Hutchinson and Reno County community by presenting its free annual Summer Concerts Series featuring the Salt City Jazz Band and the Hutchinson Municipal Band’s Concert Band.
Continuing the tradition of past seasons, concerts will be held on Tuesdays at 8:00 pm in June and July. All concerts generally last around one hour.
The Concert Band, under the direction of Abby Giles (Sterling Public Schools), Dan Brinkley (South Hutchinson/Nickerson Public Schools), Daryl Koestel (Hutchinson Public Schools), Charlene Reynolds (Central Christian School), and Jeff Pelischek (formerly of Hutchinson Community College) will play popular concert band literature, marches, show tunes, movie soundtracks and patriotic music during their concerts throughout the summer. The Concert Band will perform at 8:00 pm on June 3, June 10, June 17, June 24, and July 1.
On July 8 and July 15 at 8:00 pm, the Salt City Jazz Band, under the direction of Anthony Panek, will offer the best in big band and jazz music.
