Columbus City Band

We’re kicking off food-on-a-stick season with Monday’s concert at the Bartholomew County Fair. Note that a couple of changes are in store for this year.

Concert is Monday, July 12, at the fairgrounds south of Columbus on Hwy 11.

Load: 5:30 p.m. at Central Middle School
In seats: 6:30 p.m.
Downbeat: 7 p.m.
Reload and unload at CMS afterward

Summer band attire

Band shirt/shirt of similar color
Black pants/skirts and shoes

Traffic change

Traffic into the fair will be one way. It may be best to come in the north entrance (Spear Road). Then once you’re on Southside Road behind the fairgrounds, keep going past the first general admission entrance to the second (southern) parking entrance, which will get you to our special CCB spots right behind where we’ll be performing. See map below (click to enlarge it).

Thank you, Ted, for the traffic tip!

Special parking for CCB!

If you didn’t pick up a parking pass this week, Ora still has some you can pick up at his house (812-379-4250, opemberton@comcast.net). They get you a free parking spot right next to our gig.

Remember, these are ONE PER CAR and absolutely NONTRANSFERABLE. Behave and we might be able to snag them again next year.

Thank you, Ora, for arranging the excellent parking.

Reminder:

We do have rehearsal tonight. It’s the last one before the Bartholomew County Fair concert. So be there for practice as well as to pick up your parking pass for next Monday’s gig.

And another thing:

If you need a band polo for these summer concerts, or you just love the bold fashion statement they make and need one to wear everywhere you go, send your shirt size and how many shirts you just have to have to Ted at theodoresharpe@yahoo.com. They cost a little over $20.

Style tip: Friends don't let friends pop their collar up.

Sunday’s concert is on the courthouse square in Brownstown, on U.S. 50 between Walnut and Cross streets.
Equipment: We need help to load/unload at Central Middle School.

Unload at CMS: afterward
