Municipal Band

 

Beginning in 1915, the Winona Municipal Band has been playing concerts for the city. The band shell is located near Veterans Park next to Lake Winona. The concert goes from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. I heard the Star Spangled Banner, the beer barrel polka, a Sousa marching song, Top Gun Medley and finally America The Beautiful. The members wore white shirts with a round logo on their sleeves. All were adults. There was quite a crowd although extra seats were available. How cool to hear a band, especially a tuba, playing in person!
