Sequim concert series continues tonight with swinginÂ’ sounds

SEQUIM — Swingin’ sounds of the standards will resonate over the James Center bandshell this evening.

Performing will be the Olympic Trombone Orchestra, continuing the series of 12 outdoor concerts every Tuesday night through Sept. 9 in the bandshell just north of Carrie Blake Park, 202 N. Blake Ave.

Admission is free. All ages are welcome.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket. Tap your toes — or bring your dancing shoes and get up to dance to the band’s upbeat music.

Tote a picnic basket or grab some food from a downtown store or restaurant.

The Tuesday concerts are sponsored by Karl Allen and John Rigg of ADR Developers; Team McAleer; Clark Land Office; Gray and Osborne; William Littlejohn companies; Dungeness Courte; Lakeside Industries; and Sequim This Week, the Peninsula Daily News’ free weekly newspaper for Sequim.

The PDN also co-sponsors two other free concerts:

— Concert on the Pier every Wednesday on the Port Angeles City Pier from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. This week: the National Guard Army Band.

— Concert on the Dock in Port Townsend every Thursday night at the Quincy Street dock (behind Water Street Brewing) from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. through Sept. 4. This week: New Faces, a Port Townsend-based rock band that will release its first CD later this month.
