“This is the 73rd UCO Summer Band, one of the longest-running traditions on our campus, which brings together current and former UCO students, local amateur and professional musicians and high school band students. Multiple generations of families participate,” Lamb said.

“We’re excited to continue to offer this great tradition of bringing the Edmond community together to enjoy patriotic band music for 73 years on our campus, 52 years as part of Edmond’s LibertyFest.”

The hour-long concert is set to include a mix of marches, light classics and patriotic music. The audience will be treated to free ice cream following the concert. A small number of folding chairs will be available; however, attendees are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets.
