The SPC Symphonic Band will be featured in its first concert of the fall semester on Oct. 19.

Open to the public, the free concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Theatre in the Fine Arts Building.

The band has been practicing intensely since the beginning of the semester as a part of the Music 1127 Symphonic Band class that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:30 a.m.  It is made up of SPC students and a few volunteers from the community.

The pieces that the band will be performing are “Flourish for Glorious John” by Ralph Vaughan-Williams, “Athletic Festival March” by Sergei Prokofiev, “Divertimento for Band” by Vincent Persichetti, “Mercury” by Jan Van Der Roost, and “Chants Long Forgotten” by Roland Barrett.
