The North Cascade Concert Band Presents. . .

 

Celebrate your Mom - Take her to a concert for Mother's Day!!

Lovers of great concert music have a real treat in store for them on Sunday, May 12, 2013. The North Cascades Concert Band will be performing "A Tribute to America" at the Byrnes Performing Arts center in Arlington at 3:00 pm. For many years the NCCB has celebrated John Phillip Sousa's legacy annually by featuring many of Sousa's compositions as encores interspersed throughout the program. Arlington's own Rob Pattermann is the newly appointed music director of the NCCB, with Bellingham's Ray Blank as guest conductor.

Tickets are available at Flowers by George and Cinderella Styling Salon, as well as at the door. Prices are $12 for adults and a special price of $5 for mothers in recognition of it being Mother's Day. Attending Mothers will also receive a flower. The Arlington community service group, Hands Together, is co-sponsoring the concert, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting their work.

The NCCB spring program series celebrates America by featuring the kind of programming that was a priority for Sousa. "Audiences want to be entertained!" says Sousa, so entertain we will! In addition to the works of America's finest composers such as Gershwin, Copeland, Gould and Sousa, they will also feature "76 Trombones" by Meredith Wilson, and our own North Cascades Dixieland Band It's a program that's sure to entertain and have you leaving the program whistling or humming.
