The Rockport Legion Band’s membership ranges from advanced students to retired professionals. Among our forty or so members, we have nurses, teachers, students, real estate agents, whale watch guides, technicians, fishermen, engineers, and retired folks. Players have been members of the group for as long as fifty years, and as short a time as six months. This varied bunch meets almost every Thursday evening at the Legion Hall in Rockport, where we rehearse for two hours (and sometimes have pizza).
Other than our Summer Series, we play for community events, nursing homes, a Veteran’s Day program in conjunction with the local American Legion Post, a Holiday Concert, and two to three indoor concerts each year; we do not do parades.
