VILLAGES CONCERT BAND
Presents
CELEBRATE SPRING
Thursday April 11, 2024 7pm
Spring is a great time for chirping bluebirds, blooming azaleas, buzzing bees, and a performing concert band! The 100-piece ensemble celebrates the season’s return with an exciting musical line-up featuring cheerful and energetic music.
Conductor Jean Butler has ‘spring’ in her step as she opens the production with the band playing Sousa’s “Manhattan Beach March”. The playlist continues with Ravel’s “Bolero” and excerpts from the finale of Dvorák’s “Symphony No. 9”.
Adding to the excitement is a mallet percussion feature,“Serenade for a Picket Fence”. And what would a spring concert be without including a few musical theater songs? Therefore, Butler has enhanced the program with selections from “My Fair Lady” and “America” from West Side Story.
Butler assures the program is filled with many winning tunes. So why not swing into spring by grabbing some friends and treating them to the band’s annual spring concert. The performance is scheduled at New Covenant United Methodist Church (UMC) located at 3470 Woodridge Drive, The Villages.
The $15 tickets are available through the band’s website or at the door of the event. Proceeds from this concert are shared with the Ministries of New Covenant Church. For those who prefer to arrive with tickets, the following is the purchasing process:
