Tipp Community Night’s 4th of July Band Concert
The Tipp Community Night 1st Friday Music Series for July falls on the 4th this year. This concurrence of events evokes a nostalgic feeling of yesteryear when band concerts and fireworks on the 4th were a commonplace celebration in communities all across America.

Hometown talent “Eli” will open the evening with his extensive repertoire of easy listening music.
Kim Kelly Orchestra is a July first Friday tradition. They have been a crowd favorite returning year after year providing polished material in a variety of styles from the Big Band era of “swing” to classic and contemporary rock. The band also features vocalist Felita LaRock, former lead singer with the USAF Band of Flight at WPAFB and the US Band of the Pacific-Japan.
