TOWNSEND — The Townsend Military Band will open its 2026 Thursday evening concert series on the Townsend Common on June 11.
Weather permitting, the band will perform each Thursday from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. through at least Aug. 13.
The Townsend Military Band is managed by Betty Mae Tenney of Townsend and conducted by Thomas Souza of Chelmsford, the Brandeis University Wind Ensemble director and band director at North Middlesex Regional High School. Souza plans to feature a mix of show tunes, marches, patriotic music, and selections for children throughout the season.
Most concerts are funded by the Town of Townsend. Lawn parties, hosted by local organizations and typically featuring food, children’s activities, and community tables, are held in conjunction with the performances.
Area organizations interested in sponsoring a July or August lawn party are encouraged to contact Band Concert Coordinator Betty Mae Tenney at [email protected] as soon as possible.
Residents of all ages are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets to enjoy the music, community gathering, and food and beverages available for purchase.
The Townsend Fire/EMS Relief Association will host the lawn party for the June 11 concert, offering hot dogs, hamburgers, and sausages with peppers and onions, along with baked goods, soda, and bottled water.
