For the City Times

STEVENS POINT — The Stevens Point City Band, under the direction of Kathryn Kawleski, will present its sixth concert of the summer season on Wednesday, July 10 at 7:00 PM in the Pfiffner Pioneer Park band shell.  

“A Menagerie of Music” will be the theme as the band plays a variety of animal-inspired music, including “Tiger: The Shadow Hunter”, “The Hive”, “Zoovenirs”, “Mancini Magic”, “Meerkats”, “Jitterbug!” and “Music From the Motion Picture How to Train Your Dragon”.  The twenty-second annual Pet Parade will be held in conjunction with the weekly children’s march. Audience members are invited to bring their leashed pets and join in the parade, marching to “Pet of the Petticoats” by John Philip Sousa.

As always, Michele’s Restaurant and Catering of Stevens Point will provide food for purchase before and during the concert.  Concerts are free and held Wednesday evenings through July 31.  Audience members should bring chairs or blankets for seating.  In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be held in the gymnasium at St. Paul Lutheran Church and School, 1919 Wyatt Avenue, Stevens Point, and the pet parade will be postponed until the following week.
