The Band began its 55th season on Father’s Day, June 19th, 2011 at 2:30 PM. The performances, held in Hayward's Memorial Park (behind the Hayward Plunge), will continue through July 24th. The band was started by two Hayward maintenance employees, Ed Mendonca and Tony Nunes, in 1957. In 1960 Tony Morelli became the director and conducted the 40-member professional group until his death in February of 1998. His daughter, Kathy Maier, who had been the assistant conductor, stepped in and has been the conductor for 13 seasons.
We will have each Sunday’s program on the Web site by the middle of the week before each concert. We look forward to playing for you and seeing you in the audience.
Concerts of the Hayward Municipal Band are furnished by the City of Hayward and the Hayward Area Recreation District.
