Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association to Present The Atlantic Wind Ensemble Concert

In the spirit of the Memorial Day holiday, the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association (OGCMA) will kick off its 153rd summer season with a FREE concert by the ATLANTIC WIND ENSEMBLE on Saturday, May 28, 2022. Showtime is 7:30 pm in the Great Auditorium, located at Pilgrim and Ocean Pathways. The Great Auditorium is handicapped accessible. For more info visit www.oceangrove.org or call 732-775-0035.

Founded by Harry D. Eichhorn in 1990 and currently under the Direction of Eliot Prowse, with assistant Ted Freeman, the Atlantic Wind Ensemble is a 35-45-piece collective of volunteer musicians carrying on the Concert Band tradition of the Jersey Shore for the sheer joy of performance and entertaining others.

The Atlantic Wind Ensemble is excited to be back in the Great Auditorium after completing a "normal" year of concerts at several different venues. This concert will open with Arthur Pryor's "On Jersey Shore" March which Pryor wrote for his first Asbury Park appearance in 1904. As in past years American Legion Post 432 Spring Lake, NJ will post the Colors as well as help honor the US Armed Forces.
