GERMAN BAND OFFERS

FREE PERFORMANCE

The Egerlander German Band will play authentic marches, polkas, and waltzes in a concert at 3 p.m. Sunday June 29, 2008 in Historic Peace Church, Hampden Twp. 

Admission is free. No tickets or reservations are necessary. Seating at the church, at Trindle and St. John’s Church Roads, is limited to about 225 people.  

The band was formed more than 30 years ago by Andres Brant, a German immigrant. He traveled to Germany to obtain authentic native music and arrangements. The Egerlander Band is directed by James Messner of Mechanicsburg but still uses the original Brant arrangements.  

One of the church’s annual performers, you don’t want to miss this rousing performance.
