Ballard Sedentary Sousa Band in Edmonds

The Ballard Sedentary Sousa Band will perform the greatest hits of marching band music, 3 p.m. Aug. 26 in Edmonds City Park, Third Avenue and Pine Street.

The group also features the world’s only sedentary majorette, Edith Farrar, better known locally as the Edmonds children’s librarian.

Admission is free. In the event of rain, the concert will be cancelled at 2:30 p.m.
