BRIDGTON, ME — Robert Browne Hall was a Maine composer of marches and other wind music during John Philip Sousa’s era. Though not as well known nationally, his tunes are still recognizable and his legacy is celebrated every year on the last Saturday in June. This year, Bridgton Community Band cordially invites you to a day of music on June 29th, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, at the Stevens Brook Elementary School on route 302 in Bridgton. There will be community bands from all over Maine as well as a noontime ‘massed band’ where everyone is welcome to play and R.B. Hall’s own cornet will be featured! 

There will be food vendors, crafters, bucket drumming, activities for kids, and one of a kind R.B. Hall t-shirts for sale! Free to all – bring a lawn chair! 

This event will take place rain or shine – as we will go inside the school if need be. Hope to see you there!
