Our spring concert takes us on a thought provoking musical journey where "The Sky's the Limit"! We all have dreams and goals that push us to succeed beyond what we often think possible. And often theses ideas come to us as we self reflect and gaze into the skies.
Featured will be two very exciting pieces by our guest composer Richard Saucedo, "Into the Clouds" and "Shooting Stars". There's also popular arrangements of "Moon River", music from "Star Trek" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
The skies also been the limit lately in pushing the band to perform more and more difficult works. This year they're meeting that challenge with the exciting "Festive Overture" by Dimitri Shostakovich!
The jazz band will also perform with "Orange Colored Sky" and "Blue Moon" among others.
We are also proud to award our scholarships at the spring concert. Get your tickets now and support your local community band!
