Monroe City Band Holiday Concert

Please join the Monroe City Band as we celebrate the Holiday Season with music! The annual Christmas Concert will be presented on Sunday, December 1st at 3:00 pm in the beautiful sanctuary of the Monroe United Methodist Church, 2227 4th St. The public is welcome, and there is no admission charge. Still, donations of non-perishable food items will be graciously accepted at the door for the Green County Food Pantry.

Under the masterful direction of Brian Bruggeman, we’ll be presenting a beautiful variety of Christmas music. The Monroe City Band is celebrating its 76th year.

The current version of the Monroe City Band was organized in 1949 by the late Allan F. Barnard with the mission to provide music to the Green County area. One of the first appearances of the group was a Christmas concert for the residents, families and staff at the Green County Home, which is now the Pleasantview facility. The band will continue that tradition this year at 1:00 pm with a concert for the residents, prior to their public performance at the church.
