T he Bella Vista Community Concert Band is more than 25 years old, boasts 50 to 60 musicians playing at every concert and has a range of membership from high school age to 90-plus. "Our intent is to entertain," says president Scott Duhamel, "so we play familiar music that people will enjoy hearing." The band kicks off its summer season May 7 with the first of a series of concerts at Blowing Springs Park, east of U.S. 71 on Mercy Way in Bella Vista. A picnic supper precedes each program, served from 5 to 6:45 p.m., this year provided by Prime Cut Catering. Patrons simply stand in line, pay, pick up an order of hamburgers, hot dogs, brisket or pulled-pork sandwiches, sides and a drink and enjoy dinner. Music follows from 7 to 8 p.m. "We're an all-volunteer band with all volunteer conductors," Duhamel says, "so we do put out donation boxes at the concerts. Any funds raised will go to the purchase of additional music, instruments, sound equipment and the like, and we do give out small but nice scholarships to music students to help them in their endeavors. We're fortunate that folks that show up are happy to give and support us." — BECCA MARTIN—BROWN BMARTIN@NWADG.COM Bentonville STEAKHOUSE 479-271-4141 1003 MCCLAIN ROAD BENTONVILLE, AR • 72712 RIVERGRILLESTEAKHOUSE.COM Monday-Friday 10-6 Saturday 9-5 2503 S.
