Note from the webmaster: We update this web site at least once a week during our summer concert season. Since the program for each Sunday concert is finalized at our rehearsal on Monday evening, we generally post the week's update sometime on Tuesday. Unfortunately, if you are viewing this page on a summer Monday, what follows will undoubtedly be the information for YESTERDAY'S concert.
Our sixth concert of the season will be conducted by Janel Harms, the band director of Edward Stone Middle School. Janel plays the saxophone and, in addition to playing in our band, is a member of the Southeast Iowa Band and the Burlington Area Saxophone Quartet.
Janel’s selections include: The Liberty Bell March by John Philip Sousa; Freedom’s Voice by David Shaffer; Metrix by Robert Sheldon; Korean Folk Rhapsody arranged by James Curnow; Saturn: The Ringed Planet by Rob Romeyn; The Walking Frog by Karl King arranged by Robert E. Foster; Everything’s Coming Up Roses from the Broadway musical Gypsy by Julie Styne arranged by Johnnie Vinson; Dancing Snakes by Neil Simon (not the same Neil Simon you may be thinking of); ABBA On Broadway arranged by Michael Brown including Overture/Prologue, I Have A Dream, Mamma Mia, S.O.S., Knowing Me, Knowing You, The Winner Takes It All, and Dancing Queen; Chorale Prelude; For the Beauty of the Earth by Conrad Kocher arranged by Claude T. Smith; Ballad and Dance by Johnnie Vinson; and our traditional closing march, The Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa.
