Ocean Grove Summer Band
Celebrating Our 73rd Season!
The Great Auditorium, Ocean Grove
Wednesday, August 20, 2025 • 7:30 pm
OCEAN GROVE SUMMER BAND
Founded by Harry D. Eichhorn in 1953 to offer musicians a place to perform and enjoy standard band literature, the Ocean Grove Summer Band is proud to present this Formal Concert tonight.
The band is currently under the direction of Eliot Prowse and offers an interesting and challenging way to keep playing during the summer season. We present a different concert each week, and members are invited to play as often as they can, whether it’s “just” one week, or the entire season.
~ Join us on August 27th at 7:30 pm in the Boardwalk Pavilion for our final concert of the season! ~
