The Oshkosh Area Community Band (OACB) will present a series of four concerts this summer. Beginning on Wednesday, June 12 they will be held every other Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
June 26 – “Salute to America” at Alberta Kimball Auditorium; 375 N Eagle St, Oshkosh

July 24 – “Potpourri with Children’s Conducting Event” at The Grand; 100 High Ave, Oshkosh
There is never an admission charge, although we accept donations at the door.
June 26 you will find us playing songs from American composers. The concert will feature "The Blue and the Gray," Clare Grundman's medley of Civil War-era tunes, and "To Those We Remember," a moving piece by Lauren Keiser inspired by the haunting call of 'Taps,' dedicated to the memory of those who have served and sacrificed. We will also celebrate our veterans with "U.S. Armed Forces Service Medley," honoring their courage and commitment.
Marches, patriotic and popular songs will also be sprinkled into each summer performance. Join us for four spectacular Wednesday evenings, where you can unwind in the soothing, air-conditioned theaters. It's the perfect summer treat! Each concert lasts about an hour. The band is under the direction of David Berndt.
The OACB Jazz Ensemble will offer a bonus concert on Monday, July 29 at 7 p.m. at the Lake Shore Park Pavilion at 1875 Punhoqua Street, Oshkosh, WI. Under the direction of Jon Basten the band will play many jazz standards and dance tunes.
