southshore concert band

June 8, 2024

Traditional American
Big Band Music

In 1992, their conductor, Dale Reuss founded the Southshore Concert Band for the purpose of providing a musical outlet for area adult musicians who wished to continue performing in a concert band environment. The Band performs in residence at Lake Michigan College and has become a significant musical organization in Southwest. An acknowledged premier regional band, they never fail to please.

We are thrilled to have this impressive band return to help us celebrate the Flag Day weekend. As they did last year, the band will perform on the grass rather than in the gazebo to enable the 60 plus musicians to be seated to perform safely.

While some of the musicians have changed, the band is also celebrating its 25th year at Music in the Park!
