Turpin Band is holding its annual Band Blast at Beech Acres Park, 6910 Salem Road, Cincinnati, OH 45230, from 6:30-8:15 p.m. on Monday, May 9.

The Turpin High School Band, Nagel Seventh Grade Band and the fifth and sixth grade bands from Mercer, Sherwood and Wilson elementary schools will play.

We invite the community to come hear music from some of the finest bands in the state. People should come hungry!

We will have local favorite LaRosa’s selling pizza, wings and beverages and Kona Ice offering a variety of delicious shaved ice treats.

The parents will be selling popcorn and baked goods. There will be a fantastic silent auction with great items on which to bid.

Proceeds benefit the band.
