Montgomery Recreation Board approves funding for Summer Sessions concerts
Summary
The board approved up to $6,200 for bands and up to $3,000 for JBL sound for Summer Sessions 2026, and finalized a schedule of Thursday-night concerts June 25–July 30 with additional music on July 4. Posters and a donation letter will be prepared by the end of May.
The Montgomery Recreation Board approved funding for its 2026 Summer Sessions, authorizing up to $6,200 for bands and up to $3,000 for JBL sound. The board finalized a schedule of concerts on Thursday evenings from June 25 through July 30 and additional music on July 4.
Brendan O’Shea moved to authorize the spending; Lisa Perry seconded, and all five members present voted in favor. The motion covers artist fees and sound equipment for the Summer Sessions series. Board minutes note that vendors are "starting to come together" and that promotional posters will be printed and a donation letter mailed at the end of May.
The authorization gives staff the ability to contract bands and sound services ahead of the season; the minutes do not specify funding sources for the expenses. The board did not attach conditions or specify vendors for bands, only a cap on spending. Next steps include contracting performers and confirming vendor participation ahead of the first June concert.
