The Salmon Arm Community Band has planned an eclectic evening of music.
Conductor Cees Kooyman will perform a longtime favourite, The Typewriter, a piece that sounds like the real thing, thanks to the percussionists.
The program also features a few classical moments in pieces by Tchaikovsky, Gusav Mahler and from the Netherlands, Tulips from Amsterdam. And for ABBA fans, there will be a selection of well-known melodies like Dancing Queen.
Norma Jean Gomme will perform Misty on the trombone.
Co-director Jim Johnston, will lead the band through six pieces, travelling through several centuries and styles. Enjoy songs from composer Stephen Foster, popular dance music from a hundred years ago, music by John Phillip Sousa, a visit back to the early days of rock and roll, and a stirring march Anchors Aweigh.
After the concert, guests are invited to enjoy refreshments with the band.
The concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 4 at First United Church. Admission is by donation – donations that will allow the band to entertain for years to come.
Friends of the Band would appreciate one or two more friends to join them. Anyone interested should contact June at 250-832-2355.
