Concerts

You may be wondering since the Guild already plays twice everyday, how are concerts special?

Every year the Guild plays a series of concerts with a formalized program that we publicize and distribute programs for. This includes themed concerts such as the Halloween, December Holiday, and Valentines Day Concerts as well as concerts for each Heel class where we play a mixture of pieces composed for the carillon and pieces related to our punny title.
