Auburn Community Concert Band performance is Dec. 19

AUBURN — The Auburn Community Concert Band will present its 37th annual holiday concert on Wednesday, Dec. 19 at the Gendron Franco Center in Lewiston.
The free 75-minute performance will begin at 7 p.m.

The 54-member concert band, under the direction of Milt Simon, is made up of volunteer musicians from 16 central Maine communities and range in age from 14 to 89. The group will perform both traditional and contemporary holiday favorites.
Continuing a tradition that began over three decades ago, those attending the concert will have the opportunity to make a donation to the local branch of the Salvation Army. All money collected that evening will be used to help central Maine residents in need of assistance. For the past six years, each full-house audience has contributed in excess of $1,000 following the band’s performance.
Ample free parking is provided across the street from the side entrance of the Gendron Franco Center, 46 Cedar
