At the Band Shell, I love what I hear

All the music that comes to my ear

The City Band and local bands play

Because that is the Escanaba way

They play the music we remember so well

While we enjoy it at the Band Shell

Some sit on the benches, some on the hill

People even bring their own chairs to chill

The conductor announces the next song

With their choices, they just can't go wrong

Sitting there on the lawn as the seagulls fly

As the sun starts to set as the time goes by

Some even dance in front or to the side

Bicyclers stop and listen from their ride

Cars will park and listen awhile

As the music is play, I see their smile

Ludington Park has a wonderful sound

Whenever the local bands come around

All the music that comes to my ear

At the Band Shell, I love what I hear

In the summer time it's great to go down to the Ludington Park and listen to the

great music performed by the Escanaba City Band and the local bands they play.

The music is great to listen to, and they play music that I would have picked if I

had a choice. To see people enjoying themselves is a good feeling to see.

Music truly is the Universal language. Many thanks to the Escanaba bands for

sharing their talent with their music.
