Greater Greenwood Community Band is scheduled to play at the Terre Haute Concert Band Festival at 5:00 on Saturday, June 2, 2018. This road trip gives us an enjoyable performance to look forward to every year. The Terre Haute Community Band always has the event well sponsored, well organized, and keeps the bands well fed to deliver excellent music.
This is usually an all-afternoon and all-evening event. Our band usually plays near the end, with Terre Haute playing during the last hour.

- We will meet in the rehearsal area at the top of the hill near the parking area.
- There will be a secure place for cases, etc.
- Dress is our green GGCB polo shirt and khaki shorts or pants. Please tuck your shirt in and do not wear flip flops. Because of the heat Saturday you may wear tennis shoes or sandals.
