SALISBURY — The end of the summer means a concert by the Salisbury Band on the lawn of the Scoville Library.

This happened on Saturday, Aug. 23.

About 50 people turned out, most with folding chairs

Conductor Brian Viets thanked the crowd for coming and reminded everyone that this is the band’s 97th year.

Everyone stood for the National Anthem, and then the band launched into “Invercargill.”

Prior to the concert band members were making their way through the children’s area of the library, which was busy with youngsters reaping the rewards from the summer reading program, to the inner reaches of the library basement, where sheet music, uniforms and assorted instruments such as sousaphones are stored.

Viets thanked the library for the storage and for allowing the band to rehearse in the Wardell room on Monday evenings.
