The Camarillo Community Band’s 2024 Summer Concert series will take place on July 11, 18, 25, and August 1 at 7:00 PM at Constitution Park at the intersection of Carmen Drive and Paseo Camarillo. Presented by the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Parks District, the concerts will mark the band’s 39th season.

So, let’s meet up! We pack an easy picnic dinner, some low-back camp chairs, and make a date of it. We will be sitting between the parking lot and the bubble machine. Please join us! I can’t make it August 1 due to the Summer Dance, but any of you who aren’t attending the dance, please enjoy the concert. 🙂

You can bring a picnic dinner, too, or just plan on dessert. Last year they had Mr. Softee each week! I expect they may do that again.

It’s a very family and (well-behaved) dog friendly environment, plus the music is so fun. Children are invited up to conduct a march. Everyone is encouraged to vote for their favorite piece which will be played at the next concert.

I played flute and piccolo with this group for several years, along with my then-teenage children who played saxophone and clarinet. It was a lovely time.

It’s a great and fun way to foster an appreciation for music while participating in a quintessential summertime small-town America fun.
