Ludington Guard Band to hold first concert of the season

Greetings Fans, Friends and Groupies! 

WOW! It is June already and we are so excited to be back for our 2025 concert season! We have been spending the last few weeks practicing and are definitely ready for some pie! Our first concert for the season will be Tuesday, June 3rd, 7:30pm at the Wilson Park Band Shell. Just a reminder for our new or current groupies: concerts will be every Tuesday at 7:30 pm thru August 5th. Each week we have pie and ice cream served by a local nonprofit and popcorn served by the Menomonie Senior Center. Feel free to get up during our concert to get as much pie as needed. As Jim always says, it makes a great breakfast! These concerts are family-friendly events; we LOVE to see all the kids march across the stage for the Children’s March. Lastly, we try and perform rain or shine. We do not make any decisions until 7:30pm the day of our concert. Trust me, our President and Board will be nervously watching the weather hoping we don’t need to make any tough decisions. That said, let’s all hope it never rains on Tuesday afternoons! Some benches will be available at the park, but feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair or blanket. Now down to business:

Pie for the evening will be served by The Ludington Guard Band and Popcorn will be provided by the Menomonie Senior Center.
