Town Common

The North Reading Community Band, under the direction of Judith Allen, will be celebrating summer with a free summer concert at the gazebo located on the North Reading Town Common on Thursday, July 16, 2026, from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm.&nbsp;The public is welcome to come to listen to a variety of tunes ranging from Patriotic works John Philip Sousa to fun tunes including Leroy Anderson’s Blue Tango and a song medley honoring Judy Garland.

Begun in 1979, the North Reading Community Band is a group of dedicated amateur musicians who gather at the Damon Tavern for rehearsals on Thursday nights throughout the year. Anyone is welcome to join the band. No auditions are needed, only the desire to play music and have fun. The band plays a variety of styles including light classical, Broadway show medleys, traditional band literature, marches, and popular medleys from different eras. Concerts in the community and at different senior and assisted living centers are held during the year.

More information about the band is found on their website:<a href="https://www.northreadingcommunityband.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.northreadingcommunityband.org/</a>

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
