BERN TWP., Pa. \u2013 Some people spent part of their Labor Day enjoying an outdoor concert.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Berks County Heritage Center hosted the historic Ringgold Band for a special performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Organizers say Wertz\u2019s Covered Bridge and the Tulpehocken Creek made for the perfect backdrop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The band was formed in 1852 and is one of America’s first community bands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Monday’s show featured some patriotic tunes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Well, my favorite is Stars and Stripes Forever, so I love the piccolo part at the end, and they do an awesome job on it,” said Maria Speicher of Leesport.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Ringgold Band’s next performance will be held on Sept. 19 at the Oley Valley Community Fair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BERN TWP., Pa. \u2013 Some people spent part of their Labor Day enjoying an outdoor concert.\u00a0 The Berks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281385,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[65541,64683,74634,117610,128,130,129,102758,117507],"class_list":["post-281384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-berks-county-heritage-center","tag-labor-day","tag-outdoor-concert","tag-patriotic-tunes","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news","tag-ringgold-band","tag-wertz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
