Nine free concerts in 28 days.

That’s what Williamsport’s world-famous Repasz Band has lined up for the summer of 2025.

Venues and occasions include local parks, annual festivals, summer holidays, nearby nursing homes, a national convocation in Gettysburg — and even two brand-new sites where the group has never played before.

Just a few weeks after a pair of spring concerts at the Community Arts Center, Repasz kicks off its robust summer slate on June 7, joining the four-day Gettysburg Brass Band Festival.

Hosting 20 bands from Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, Delaware and Indiana, the GBBF features Repasz at 6 p.m. Saturday. This particular performance will include a medley from George Gershwin’s “Girl Crazy,” guest-conducted by its arranger — Jari Villanueva, a veteran composer who’s spent many years working with the United States Air Force Band.

Closer to home, Repasz will also perform the very next day at the Ways Garden Art Show in downtown Williamsport. Other concerts include Flag Day at Penn College; July Fourth in Eagles Mere; the Mid-Penn Band Festival in West Milton; and two first-ever locales for this ensemble: Nippenose Valley Village on June 19 and Bloomsburg Town Park on June 25. (Full schedule below.)

The Mid-Penn gig, slated for June 21 in West Milton, is a Central PA band event that draws more than 70 musicians from towns like Danville, Catawissa, Selinsgrove, Sunbury and Bellefonte. Each of several area conductors chooses two works, which are then rehearsed in the afternoon — with a free concert that evening.

In the words of Repasz conductor Jeff Dent, these summer concerts “feature a varied repertoire of styles and genres; we’ve made a special effort to include ‘a little something for everyone.’”

Highlights include the “Palais de Versailles Overture,” which Dent describes as “a very classical-sounding work that reflects the unimaginable beauty of the Palace of Versailles and contains snippets of the French national anthem.”

Also on offer is a local favorite, Robert Sheldon’s “Beyond the Riverbend” — which was included on the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper’s 2022 CD anthology.

Dent adds that the tunes “Nippono,” “Lycoming Motor March” and “Keefer’s Grenadier March” will also be on offer to celebrate local composers John Hazel and Harry Lincoln.

The exciting summer slate is rounded out by jazz tunes (“Star Dust,” “T.D.’s Boogie Woogie”) and several patriotic selections for Flag Day and July 4th.
