A complete concert season will be posted soon on this website. See you at the concerts!
An account has been established with the Community Foundation of Central Illinois for those who wish to give to support the band. Checks may be sent to the Chairperson of the Peoria Municipal Band Commission at the address below. Please make checks payable to: The Peoria Municipal Band.
Thank you for your support!
A special thank you to Angela Carriere who has been the librarian for the band since 1991! She has done this while living in Peoria, Champaign, Rockford, and the Quad Cities as she has followed her husband, David, through his successful career.
The next move is to Phoenix Arizona so while we are all happy for Angie and her family, we are also sad to see her go. Her work as the band librarian has been outstanding managing 52 folders for 24 concerts each summer that each contain 14 to 15 selections – that, is a lot of music!
If anyone in Phoenix is looking for a librarian Angie would be their best choice!
