Boerne Concert Band presents an Independence Day Concert

CELEBRATING THE ARTS

Bring your lawn chairs to Boerne’s Main Plaza and help our community celebrate our country’s birthday at a FREE Independence Day Concert on Sunday, July 2nd at 7pm. Tap your foot to swing selections, and wave the flag to patriotic melodies, and, of course, Stars and Stripes Forever! The Boerne Concert Band, directed by Larry Schmidt, performs five free concerts every year, and is made up of musical members from all walks of life and from all over Texas Hill Country, including lifelong musicians, middle, high school and college students, military veterans and band directors. In case of rain, the concert will be held in the Boerne High School Auditorium. Go to www.boerneconcertband. com for more information.

Jump into HCCArts immersion into Fine Arts instruction with Maren Phillips and her Introduction to Watercolor, Monday, July 10, 10am--1pm, The Classroom at The AgriCultural Museum and Arts Center, 102 City Park Road, Boerne. Professional Artist and Instructor, Phillips will introduce participants to the wonderful, fluid art of watercolor.

Workshop members will learn about basic watercolor supplies, and the techniques and methods used by watercolorists. You can expect a Mini Workshop filled with demonstrations, personal instruction, and fun.

Maren has planned an interesting morning filled with luscious color and loose watercolor effects using a still life set-up as the subject, but the paintings will reflect the brilliant colors and exciting brushwork as technique. Emphasis will be on finding depth of color and richness in your mixtures. Mixing colors will be required! Color is the main “theme” in this instruction in watercolor; however, know that painting in an abstract expressive way is encouraged, but not required. The loose and exciting brushwork can reveal the subject without “drawing” it exactly.

Limited registration. HCCArts members $75, Non-members $85. Supplies included.
