TONIGHT'S CONCERT IS HAPPENING AS OF NOW! Even if it's sprinkling where you are (such as western Wayne County), we believe it's supposed to stop raining by 6 p.m., so we're going to give this a go and hope the radar is correct! We're still planning a 6 p.m. warmup for musicians followed by the 7 p.m. concert at Glen Miller Park's band shell. Cross your fingers the skies look similar to this picture we took a few days ago. :)

We hope the rain will stay away and we can perform this Monday evening - June 8 - at Glen Miller Park! We'll monitor the weather and any decision about postponing until the following week will be made after 4 p.m. Monday. Check our page for updates.

We're staying positive, but we're also keeping an eye on Monday's weather as it now shows a 40% chance of rain. We'll plan to share any updates here late Monday afternoon, likely making a decision around 4 p.m. if we're rescheduling. (We have several factors to consider, including the stage potentially being slippery if it's wet, safety regarding the electronic sound system, and expensive instruments that can get damaged by water). RCO musicians, please check your email around that time Monday afternoon if we need to send updates as well. (Musicians: If you aren't receiving our weekly emails, please send your email and phone number to [email protected] this weekend). Thanks to all for your patience as we navigate outdoor concert planning!
