Time: 11 am - 12 pm

Location: Ping Tom Park,
1700 S. Wentworth Ave, under the bridge, next to the playground

Since its start in Chicago in 2011, Sousapalooza has highlighted Make Music Day celebrations around the country. Each June 21, hundreds of wind band players – from rusty amateurs to accomplished orchestral musicians – have gathered in parks and plazas, from Anchorage to Atlanta, to sightread the quintessentially American music of The March King, John Philip Sousa.

This year, in honor of America’s 250th birthday, Sousapaloozas will be organized from coast to coast on June 21. All players are welcome – no tickets, no rehearsal, just fun!
