Band Shell dedication planned
I’m sure you’ve noticed all the work being done on the Baker Park band shell over the last year or so. Well, it’s finally almost done and I personally think it’s a major improvement. There will be a dedication ceremony this coming Sunday, August 30th at 6:30PM, right before the final concert of the Summer Concert Series. From a press release on the City of Frederick website:
The new wings are built with the same stone that is on the Carillon and the Carroll Creek Structures and features a Comedy mask sculpture on the left and the Tragedy mask on the right. These sculptures were donated by the Frederick sculpture artist Gavin T Gardner. If you look around the sides of the new wings you will discover the etched art glass designs of Yemi, a Frederick artist who has created scenes of Baker Park, Frederick City and County themes. And in center stage you will observe the Ron Layman Faux School community project of creating a backdrop of a decorative stone wall that mimics the stone of the Park.
If you haven’t seen the improvements yet, I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
