It must be summer if the concert season has arrived.

The Cupertino Symphonic Band kicks off a six-week series of free evening summer concerts Thursday night, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Memorial Park Amphitheater.

The homegrown non-profit organization specializes in musicals and movies, classical, big band sounds and more.

For the next several weeks, residents can hear the gamut from Zydeco to Motown. So bring a picnic dinner and the family and kick back!
