Audition information and sign-ups for the 2026 Summer Season will be posted here on March 1, 2026. Auditions will take place at Wheaton City Hall on Sunday, May 17 and Sunday May 23, 2026.
Beginning Thursday, June 11, The Wheaton Municipal Band takes the stage at
Memorial Park in downtown Wheaton to begin its 97th season. Known as one of the
finest bands of its kind in the country, the Wheaton Municipal band, under the
direction of Dr. Bruce Moss, wows audiences with its stunning sound and brilliant
musicianship. Musicians from all over the Chicagoland area audition for the coveted
spots in the band.
Each week the musicians rehearse new music on Wednesday, for
a performance on Thursday. Every concert is different and offers a glimpse into the
challenges facing an 89 piece concert band which performs a new concert each
week. The free concerts represent a collaboration between The City of Wheaton,
The Wheaton Park District, the WMB Board and the Friends of the Wheaton
Municipal Band. Step back in time and experience live music in the beautiful setting
of Memorial Park.
All concerts begin at 7:30 but come early and enjoy a picnic in the park, or purchase
popcorn or ice cream from the Friends of the Wheaton Municipal Band.
All concerts are on Thursday evening, with two exceptions Saturday, June 13 @ Cantigny and Saturday, August 1 at Edman Chapel (the only indoor concert).
