UCO Summer Band to Perform for Edmond LibertyFest, June 26

June 17, 2025

Band members perform at a previous Concert in the Park as part of Edmond’s LibertyFest.

The University of Central Oklahoma School of Music's Summer Band will perform its annual, free Concert in the Park at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, June 26. The concert will be on the lawn between Mitchell Hall Theatre and the Lillard Administration building on Central's campus. ​ ​

The hour-long concert is part of LibertyFest, Edmond's annual Fourth of July celebration, and will feature a mix of marches, light classics and patriotic music.

“The Concert in the Park is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and enjoy the power of live music in a relaxed, festive atmosphere. We’re proud to be part of LibertyFest and to share the talent of our summer band with both the Edmond and UCO communities,” said Brian Lamb, D.M.A., director of the UCO School of Music.

“I am very excited that UCO’s own Graduate Assistant Band Director, Ryan Holcomb, will conduct the summer band this year. Ryan got his undergraduate degree from UCO, and he’s already making a huge impact as a part of the band staff in his second year as a graduate student.”

The audience will be treated to free ice cream following the concert. A small number of folding chairs will be available; however, attendees are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets. ​
