Lake Harriet Bandshell - Schedule???

dreamsharkI could've sworn that last year I found an online schedule for the daily summer performances at the Lake Harriet Bandshell. This year I can find neither hide nor hair of such a thing. I find it hard to believe that a comprehensive list is not available anywhere, but I can find no sign of one on the Mpls Parks website. You would think that they might print up a monthly or season schedule and post it somewhere in the park, but if anyone has ever done such a thing, I've never found it.
Strangest of all, even when someone is performing, there is frequently no indication who the performer is! The community bands usually have a small sign propped up against the stage (although you sometimes have to walk down close to the stage before you see it) but single performers often work in complete anonymity. I ride around the lake 2 or 3 times a week; typically I stop and listen to a performance number or two and then ride on with no idea who I was listening to. Informality is nice, but you'd think the performers would have a little more interest in letting people know who they are. And with all the pretty pictures and nice wordage on the park board site, there is remarkably little concrete information.
Anybody found a season schedule anywhere?
