The year 2009 will be an exciting and interesting year for The Marshfield Civic Band.  This marks the year that the Columbia Park bandshell, the long time home of the Marshfield Civic Band annual concerts, will be renovated.

The Columbia Park bandshell is a historic building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and with the Wisconsin Historical Society.  The bandshell was originally constructed in 1931.   The scope of the work is intended to repair and replace various elements of the structure, and to restore the building's historical features.  Included in this work are roof repairs, hollow metal and wood panel doors, replacement of wooden stage decking and some wood joists and beams below the stage, replacement of the wood stage risers, tuck pointing and repair of the brick work, removal of vinyl siding and new decorative wood siding and moldings and painted stucco, installation of metal guard/hand railings, uncover and restore window glass, and other miscellaneous carpentry, joint sealing and painting work.

The contractor is set to commence on-site work on the project on August 3, 2009, following completion of the band's 2009 summer concert season, and the project is set to be completed by November 1, 2009.
