Tuesday Evenings in July and August ;  Come enjoy the Dartmouth Community Band Concerts  performing at the gazebo at Apponagansett Beach Tuesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. in July and August.

Standing in the back row of the Dartmouth Community Band, Percussionist Neil Sylvia said he loves to watch the dynamics play out in front of him. 

“I get to see a 70 year old next to a 14 year old next to a 30 year old. I get to see professional musicians next to amateurs next to people who haven’t picked up an instrument in 20 years,” Sylvia said — this is part of what makes the community band so special.

The band held its open rehearsal Tuesday, June 18 to kick off its 50th season. This summer, the band will continue its long-standing tradition of performing at the gazebo at Apponagansett Beach Tuesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. in July and August.

Sylvia highlighted the upcoming Tuesday, July 16 concert as it will be the one where the band celebrates its 50 years, honoring some original band members and paying “homage to our history.”

John Furtado, the band’s conductor since around 2016, said conducting the 50th season is “a little daunting,” but also “very exciting.”
