Ottawa's Municipal Band directed by Loren Matthews staged its weekly summer concert in City Park, a tradition dating to 1865. About 45 musicians perform, many local students, with adults as longtime members. The music includes show tunes marches religious songs Latin American and classical numbers. Matthews notes tax funds support the band, formed as Ottawa Boys Band in 1921, and hopes for a larger bandstand to accommodate growth and preserve the city's musical heritage.
