Concerts in the Park: FdL Symphonic Band

Americana, Marches, Patriotic, and More!

Directed by Dale Shipe and Jill Wagner, the concert will feature vocalist Eva Thelen Dunphy and oboe soloist Daniel Papenheim, along with a variety of American music, patriotic selections and marches including 76 Trombones, Die Wacht Am Rhein, Armed Forces Salute, and Stars and Stripes Forever.
You’re sure to enjoy a traditional summer band concert performed by excellent Fond du Lac and area musicians.

Organized in 1898, the former Fond du Lac Military Band has evolved from a summer park band into a multi- faceted organization. The FSB performs major concerts in April and November and hosts the Buttermilk Festival, a series of concerts at the Wifler Performance Center that includes five Symphonic Band concerts alternating with guest artists from June to late August. The Band also presents a July 4th concert at Lakeside Park, and this year will perform additional concerts in Waupun, Campbellsport, and Lomira.

While a majority of the Band’s musicians live in the Fond du Lac area, the Band’s reputation for musical and organizational excellence attracts many top-notch musicians from around east central Wisconsin. Experienced adult instrumentalists are welcomed into the band based on their playing ability and the band’s instrumentation needs.
