2020 Summer Season Update:

Dear friends, audience members, and musicians:
We care about you, your health, and your safety.

We’re adjusting our concert schedule based on the latest local, state, and federal COVID-19 guidelines, which means we will be suspending all concerts and rehearsals until further notice. We do remain open to the possibility of late summer concerts if we are permitted, so please check back here and our Facebook page to see any updates. Or, if you would like to be notified when we plan to resume concerts, join our email list at the bottom of this page!

There will be no auditions for the 2020 season. All 2019 Waukegan Band Members should have received an email with more information regarding our adjustments due to COVID-19. Please Contact Us if you did not receive an email. Our personnel and band managers will send out more information when they are able.

A message from our Music Director, Dr. Mark A. Taylor:

"Now more than ever, the world needs its music and its other arts to express all that has gone unsaid and to serve humankind in its outpouring of sorrow, exasperation, and relief. Which is precisely why it is so disheartening for us, as musicians, to be unable to do what we do best – to gather together and to create for ourselves and for our communities.

As you likely will have already surmised, we will be unable to start our summer concert season as scheduled. Rest assured that your Waukegan Band Foundation Board of Directors are actively (virtually) meeting, discussing our readiness for whatever future conditions may bring. We remain open to the possibility of giving concerts in some form later in the summer if health officials permit. For now, please stay safe and be well."

Thank you for joining us for our 2019 Summer Season!

THANK YOU to our audience, sponsors/donors, and musicians for another successful season!
We pledge our best efforts to continue offering summer relaxation and family entertainment.
