Concert on the Lawn - 4th of July at Deep Creek Lake

A true taste of Americana can be found on the 4th of July at Deep Creek Lake and Wisp Resort. Under the tent on the Garrett College grounds will be a true celebration of patriotism with a concert from both Garrett Community Concert Band and the Garrett Coral Society. This will be the second year featuring both local groups.

Stick around at the end of the concert - a perfect spot to view the fireworks display at Wisp Resort. Garrett Community Concert Band was formed in May of 2000. An entirely volunteer group under the skillful and patient guidance of Moe Turrentine. Members of the band are from all walks of life including businessmen, teachers, homemakers, retired band directors, high school and college students and even a few Realtors (Yes...Realtors have talent!).

Garrett Choral Society is a community chorus open to all singers. The concert season for the Choral Society includes a holiday concert in December and a Spring Concert. The society's artistic director is Julie Turrentine and the accompanist is Lynn Grimm. This year special recognition will be given to all local fire fighters, EMS personnel and law enforcement officials during the concert.
