| The Dixon Municipal Band |
| I am in the process of sending out a letter for the upcoming Dixon Municipal Band 2013 Season. So far, I have rehearsal on May 20th (Monday) in the Dixon High School Band room at 7pm. Then the Memorial Day Parade on May 27th (Monday) at 9 am-meet in the DHS band room. The rest of the season will depend on the Dixon City Council and the Mayor. If you do not receive a letter sometime this week, or need to update a mailing address, please contact me at Cathy James Mgr. ~ ~ ~ ~ If we have our budget back, concerts will be on Thursday evenings in Page Park at 7:30pm. [The Band Shell is located just North off of the Peoria Ave. Bridge, past the Dixon High School on Lincoln Statue Drive] ~ ~ ~ ~ We proudly march every year in Dixon's Memorial Day Parade, to honor our nation's veterans. After the 10am parade, we join in an outdoor service at Oakwood Cemetery along with hundreds of community members, notable speakers, dignitaries, and representatives from all branches of the military. ~ ~ ~ ~ The Dixon Municipal Band heads up the Annual Petunia Festival Parade by playing Patriotic marching songs all along the parade route. Thousands of visitors come to Dixon each year to watch the parade, enjoy the carnival and to partake of the three stages of entertainment and the large variety of food and drinks along the Rock River in Page Park. The Festival runs each year around the 1st week of July over the fourth of July Holiday. |
