McGill's Community Band of Houlton was organized in 1985 as the fulfillment
of David McGillicuddy's dream.
As instrumental
director of M.S.A.D. #29, David had dreamed of forming a community band
made up of local musicians that would perform in Monument Park on nice
summer evenings as had been done in days past by the Houlton Town Band.
In 1985 approximately
55 area musicians came together to form McGill's Community Band of Houlton.
Today the band consists of approximately 100 musicians from AroostookCounty,Maine
and New Brunswick as well as out of state summer residents. Current
director of the band is Mr. Joseph Fagnant, Houlton High School instrumental
music director.
McGill's Community
Band of Houlton has been delighting audiences of all ages for 23 consecutive
summers. Outdoor concerts are performed every Thursday evening, 7:00 PM
(weather permitting) in Monument Park in the Houlton Amphitheatre,
beginning in mid
June. The band also participates in Houlton's Fourth of July festivities.
The summer concert season ends in late August.
