The Glenn Miller Orchestra Thursday 11/7 | Arts Council, Wisconsin Rapids I kind of had to do a double take when I saw that the Glenn Miller Orchestra was coming to Wisconsin Rapids. The band has been touring for — don’t adjust your paper, this is correct — 1956, and that’s the band that formed after Miller’s death in 1944. Glenn Miller received the lifetime achievement Grammy Award posthumously in 2003.

Don McLean Friday 11/1 | Grand Theater, Wausau When I was a kid, I remember singing Don McLean’s American Pie on the school bus more than once. The song was so pervasive, even so many years after it was popular, that we all knew the words collectively. So McLean coming to the Grand Theater is a pretty big deal. Amazingly, he hasn’t stopped for 50 years and is still writing, recording and performing music. This is your chance to see an American legend so you’ll want to grab your tickets right away.

True West Thurs-Sat 10/24-26 | Whitewater Music Hall, Wausau I really like that the Wausau Community Theater has been thinking outside the box on how and where to conduct some of its shows.

This time WCT is putting on True West, Sam Shepard’s blistering, hilarious tale of two sparring brothers who are always trying to one-up each other. 7 pm all three nights.

Marathon County tax rates are expected drop again — City Pages

Oct 14, 2024 | thecitypages.com | Brian Kowalski

County taxpayers are expected to see a drop in their tax rates next year. Marathon County Administrator Lance Leonhard says the tax rate for the county is expected to drop at least 15 cents per $1,000 of valuation. That would be a $30 drop in taxes for the owner of a home valued at $200,000. That comes as the county’s budget this year is expected to be “status quo,” Leonhard explains. There aren’t many new budgetary requests but also not really any funding cut requests.
