FREE 7pm Haskell Park Concert near Lucy Playhouse

About this event

WEEK 6:  The Alton Municipal Band will be performing at Haskell Park at 7pm featuring vocalist Susan Parton Stanard.  We are happy to have her return to perform with the band for another season.

Stanard recently retired from Lewis and Clark Community College after 20 years as music professor and director of the College's choral ensembles and vocal studies.  She is a 2007 Emerson Excellence in Teaching Award recipient which annually recognizes educators throughout the region for their excellence in their field. She is a Nationally Certified Teacher of Piano and Vocal Music by the Music Teachers National Association. She directed the Concert Choir and vocal ensemble Limited Edition which performed fall, holiday and spring concerts on campus and throughout the area as ambassadors for the campus.  She helped organize many popular brown bag performances and was a regular talent at faculty recitals.  She spent many hours preparing students forNATS competitions and even organized a trip to New York to sing at Carnegie Hall for LC students and members of the choir.  Truly a memorable experience for all.  Currently, she is actively doing music ministry at the Evangelical Church in Godfrey on Sundays, teaching private lessons, and often performs at weddings and other special events.

Bring your lawn chairs and join us for a wonderful evening of music at the park.
