These cool days and even cooler nights are making fall feel like has arrived! But there is time to get out and catch one more summer concert by the Boyertown Alumni Band. This time the location will be up in the scenic wooded and lush countryside of Hill Church. This concert will also include food, of course!

The concert will be held Saturday, September 6, 2025, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the Picnic Grove at St. John’s UCC, 620 Hill Church Road, Boyertown, PA. Food will be available beginning at 3:00 PM. There will be a free-will offering taken, and the event will be held rain or shine. Bring your lawn chair or use the seating available in the band shell. Parking is available at the grove.

Band Captain Dennis Weller expressed that “ the band is very pleased to return to Hill Church again this summer." This outdoor concert will feature some fun and familiar selections. Marches include Hosts of Freedom and Proud Heritage. Hallelujah, featured in the movie Shrek, will also be a crowd-pleaser. The band always provides a wide variety of music for everyone to enjoy. This is a family-friendly event and open to all age groups.

Hoping to see everyone there for a great concert and delicious food.
