End of summer concert

BETHEL - The Mahoosuc Community Band will have its end of the summer concert at 7 p.m. Monday at the Gould Academy Bingham Auditorium.

Several young people from Telstar and Gould Academy are playing instruments and joining them for the final concert of the season. Because of the added number of players, they are having the last concert at Bingham Auditorium at Gould Academy, where the auditorium is larger.

Refreshments will be served after the concert. That gives everyone a chance to mingle and meet the musicians. While the concert is free to the public, donations are accepted and help provide music for the band.

Anyone interested in bringing out their old instrument and dusting off the valves or pads is welcome to come anytime they're practicing. The band encourages all abilities in the goal of promoting music in our communities. Rehearsals start Sept. 10, at 7 p.m. in the basement of the West Parish Congregational Church in Bethel.
