Our Great City

The Keller Public Arts Program is proud to present the Southlake Community Band at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 13 on the front steps of Keller Town Hall. Formed in 1992, the Community Band consists of more than 70 talented, adult amateur musicians who enjoy playing music just for fun.

Under the direction of Mr. David Stone, the band performs regularly in the North Texas area cities of Southlake, Grapevine, Keller, and Colleyville. The afternoon free concert will include a variety of tunes from movies, some classics, and maybe even a march for good measure.

Bring lawn chairs, blankets, and refreshments and help welcome in the spring season.

As the time change approaches on Sunday, March 14, Keller Fire-Rescue wants to remind residents to make another change that could save their lives - changing the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

To save lives and prevent needless injuries, Keller Fire-Rescue is participating in a national home fire safety campaign called Change Your Clock-Change Your Battery. Sponsored by Energizer, our fire department, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the program urges Americans to adopt a lifesaving habit: change smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector batteries when clocks are changed with Daylight Saving.

For information regarding fire and life safety, call the Keller Fire-Rescue Fire Marshal's Office at (817)743-4400 or contact the department by e-mail at firerescue@cityofkeller.com.
