FOURTH OF JULY CONCERT

The band will perform it's final concert of the 2008/2009 season on Saturday, July 4, 2009 at 3:00pm in the Carolina Hotel's newly renovated Carolina Exhibit Hall (downstairs). Musical Director David Sieberling has selected music typical of previous July 4th concerts. The program's theme is “The Sights and Sounds of America”. Starting with the Sousa march From Maine to Oregon the program works its way from east to west. The music of New York, New York is followed by American River Songs, a collection of traditional music from an earlier time when the rivers were the lifeline of a growing nation. Some of the songs included are “Down by the River“, “Shenandoah“, and “The Glendy Burk”.

The excitement of a cool, fall Saturday afternoon of college football, with the pageantry of marching bands and cheering fans is brought to mind with the Jerry Bilik march Block M.

Sedona composed by Steven Barker is his musical impression of one of the most beautiful places in the country, Sedona, Arizona. The music conjures up the area's red rock mountains and Oak Creek Canyon.

El Capitan is a 3,000 ft. vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park.  El Capitan is the best known of John Phillip Sousa's operas from which he drew the march El Capitan. The march has no connection to the rock, but Director Sieberling enjoys stretching the point.

July 4th crowd favorites Armed Forces Salute and Stars and Stripes Forever are on the program. In addition the band will introduce The Song of the Unknown Soldier , a piece composed for vocal and jazz band in 1979 by local musician and band leader, Eddie Barrett.
