Monday Nights! in the Park

Monday Nights steelband performances were started in 1975 by Carl Chase on the steps of the South Brooksville Post Office. This was a street dance by the Atlantic Clarion Steel Band for the local schooner passengers, back to the land farmers and locals who would come to dance in the street or listen across the street under the trees on a neighbors lawn. Some decided that squealing their tries would enhance the setting and that lead to neighbors complaining and shut down the festivities in 1979. Later in1990's Carl and his son Nigel Chase and Butch Czerwinski started classes for the public behind the Buck Harbor Market. This lead to the return of the Monday Night street dances now around the corner in front of the market. Atlantic Clarion Steel Band continued to play but soon joined with the plaayers from the beginner classes to form a band which and after a few different name changes is still known today as Flash in the Pans. But again neighborly disenchantment and large crowds forced the the band to move to Blue Hill where it still performs in the town park during summer, every other Monday.
