Concerts in the Park, featuring Garage Orchestra kicks off at 7pm on Thursday, July 11th at the Good Tymes Shelter. Bring a chair, blanket and picnic and spend the evening at the park. Food and drink will be available for purchase. Sycamore’s own “Garage Orchestra” started in 2008 when the Nelson family came up with the idea of a rock orchestra made up of middle school age youth jamming out in the garage with their violins, cellos and drums. This idea resulted in a group of youth not only practicing over the summer but performing as well. The Orchestra started with 20 youth in 2008 and in 2012 had over 55 youth participating! The group performs a wide variety of rock ranging from Deep Purple to Metallica to Coldplay, with their special talents and instruments adding a touch of their specialness to the music. Concert Hot line: 815-895-3202. Concerts in the Park is free for all ages.
