The band performed a variety of pieces, including American and European marches, an original piece titled “Memory Dance” based on the music of ABBA, as well as other standards.
The band was under the direction of Mike Fisher, superintendent of Charles City Community Schools, and a former music teacher.
It was the second of three shows for the municipal band this season. The band kicked it off on June 2, under near-perfect weather conditions in Central Park. That show was directed by Charles City High School band director Jake Gassman.
The final performance of the season is scheduled for July 4, starting at 7:30 p.m. behind the Charles City Public Library, prior to the fireworks. Scott Stroud, director of bands from Nashua-Plainfield High School, will conduct the July 4 concert.

Charles City senior center fielder and leadoff hitter Emerson Bohlen was named Iowa Girls Coaches Association Class 4A All-Northeast District Softball Team — the lone Comet to receive the honor.
Bohlen led the Comets in a bevy of categories, including hits (42), runs (31), walks (18), batting average (.442), on-base percentage (.530) and stolen bases (25 out of 28 attempts).
Earlier this month, Bohlen was one of six Comets named to the final All-Northeast Iowa Conference Softball Team. Bohlen was named to the All-NEIC First Team after being an All-NEIC Second Team selection last season.
Bohlen lettered all four years while playing for her father, Comet head coach Brian Bohlen, who reached his 500th coaching win early in the 2024 season with his daughter — then a junior — in the starting lineup.
