“Calvary Road’s facility is the perfect location to address our increased band membership and growing audience,” said HCB Treasurer Paul Draper. “The facility has the stage and sound technology required, lots of seating and parking, and ensures that we can perform rain or shine.”

The first concert will be held at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, July 21. Themed “Patriotic Fanfare,” the performance happens to coincide with Maggie Valley’s 50th Birthday Celebration the same weekend. Maggie Valley Alderman Tim Wise will welcome guests to the concert.

The music will all have an Americana feel and guest vocalist Sam Bogan will sing two numbers. Bogan is currently the band director at Waynesville Middle School and is also a Specialist in the 208th Army Reserve Band from Concord.

Other show dates at the Calvary Road Baptist Church include the “Summer Fun” show at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 18 and “Scares & Legends” 6:30 p.m. Sept. 15.

There will also be HCB performances at 4 p.m. Aug. 25 at Stuart Auditorium in Lake Junaluska (“All Summer Long”) and 4 p.m. Oct. 20 at the First United Methodist Church in Waynesville (“Frightacular”).

All shows are free and open to the public. For more information, please visit haywoodcommunityband.com.
