Friends and families will experience live music while the sun sets and the community comes together.
Art Lane, Music on the Mountain organizer, started the annual show in 2014. A Sheffield High School graduate, Lane became the Sheffield Music Booster president after helping to rejuvenate the school marching band. Inspired by the local Drum and Bugle Corps shows of the past and fueled by the energy of Johnsonburg “A Blast in the Burg,” he formed a committee to bring the first DCI Open Class event to Wolverine Mountain.
Outgrown from its original space, the show will take place at the War Memorial Field on 306 Lexington Ave., Warren, for its third year. The show features Cincinnati Tradition, 7th Regiment, Gold, Latrobe Music Center, Les Stentors, Raiders, Rogues Hollow Regiment, Steel City Ambassadors and The Battalion, with a pre-show performance by the Allegheny Eclipse Color Guard.
Promoted by Sheffield Music Boosters, the event has remained a well received summer experience by the community, with visiting corps appreciating the hospitable welcome from the collective of individuals, organizations, and businesses that work year-round to keep the marching arts alive. Volunteers are needed and welcomed.
