D uring the summer of 2010 the band
celebrated its 25th season since re-
forming under the name The Mer-
cersburg Area Community Band.
The band commemorated this event by commis-
sioning Gary Fagan of Charlottesville, Virginia, to write a
piece of mu-
sic specifically for the band.
“Mercersburg – A Celebration of
People and Place” made its debut
during the summer of 2010, and
Gary Fagan conducted the piece
during the band’s annual perfor-
mance in the Kiwanis Band Shell
at Chambersburg Memorial Park
on the 4th of July.

The Mercersburg Area Community
Band is performing for the thirty-
second season of summer music in
2017. We are honored that you decid-
ed to join us again this summer.
If you have a favorite piece we have done sometime in the
past
32 years, we would love to hear
about it.
A combined concert with the Wayne
Band is happening again this year on
July 30th at the Jerome King Play-
ground band shell in Greencastle.
We hope you will join us for some
stirring patriotic music and other well
-known tunes.
T he Mercersburg Area Community Band is a musical
organization that has served Mercersburg and the sur-
rounding communities since its inception.
Organized first as the Eagle Cornet Band, the MACB’s
purpose is to serve the various ceremonial needs of the
greater
Mercersburg Community (Adams,
Franklin, and Fulton Counties). The
band is comprised of volunteers who
perform for the enjoyment of the music
and for the personal challenge and en-
richment that is derived from playing a
musical instrument.
