2025 Summer Season Wrap Up

The Illinois Brass Band wound up their 2025 summer performance season this past Friday, August 8 th as guests on the Park Ridge Fine Arts Society concert series. This was our 4 th appearance on this prestigious series. What a thrill to play before such a large and appreciative audience. Thank you, Park Ridge.

The band had a successful season beginning with our trip to Amana, IA for the Wurst Brass Festival, then two parades on July 4 th , and appearances in Schaumburg, Elgin, Carpentersville, Arlington Heights, and of course, Park Ridge. Our sincere thanks to all the organizations for your support of IBB and for allowing us to bring exciting brass band programming to your summer concert series.

After a few well deserved weeks off, the band will begin rehearsals for our fall and holiday season. Currently scheduled are four school concerts, a Veteran’s Day performance at a local senior retirement community, and of course our three very popular holiday performances.

Ticket pre-sales for the holiday performances will begin in early November. Please watch this space for further details.

Again, our thanks to the organizations who have included us on their programming and to the many folks who have supported our efforts by attending one of our performances.

See you in the concert hall.
