The Band Plays On

The City Band

In 1905, Ray Fowble was hired to draft plans for a new bandstand since the old one became too crowded for the eleven member band.  The new bandstand was on the West side of the board walk, South of the spring where it is today.  The first bandstand was sold by the park Committee to Nat Cruce, with the agreement that he would not move it away until the new one was completed.  Mr. Cruce then moved it to the nine wonders, which had plans to become the town of West El Dorado.

Band to Celebrate Flag Day and Father’s Day

This weekend is very special since our Band will be celebrating two holidays. On Friday night, wear your red, white, and blue as we play a special concert for Flag Day. Then on Sunday come join us as our concert honors Fathers on Father’s Day.

We play every Friday and Saturday night from 8 to 9 p.m. and Sunday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. Come listen to YOUR Municipal Band this weekend for a relaxing time of visiting with friends and neighbors. We would love to play for you!
