Maine Pops’ Return to In-Person Rehearsals Postponed One Week Due to Weather

The return of live rehearsals for the Maine Pops Concert Band must wait an additional week.

The July 1 rehearsal of the Maine Pops Concert Band – slated from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Falmouth Village Park – has been cancelled due to weather. The National Weather Service has called for for thunderstorms in the Portland metropolitan area during the band’s scheduled rehearsal time, so band leadership decided to cancel this evening’s session.

The band’s next scheduled rehearsal will be Thursday, July 8, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Falmouth Village Park.
