Alumni Band’s Second Concert Fills Kent Concert Hall with Music

Utah State University's summer Alumni Band creates an old-fashioned park band experience during a second concert June 29 at 7 p.m. in the Kent Concert Hall of the Chase Fine Arts Center at Utah State.

"This concert has a program of past audience favorites," said Nicholas Morrison, director of the band. "The program has standard band repertoire and great selections from the musical The King and I. This concert is definitely a crowd pleaser."

Other highlights include Alfred Reed’s A Festival Prelude, written originally for band and arranged for orchestra, and Frank Tichelli's Shenandoah.

The alumni band welcomes all families, including children, to the concert.

"The music is fun and introduces children to music that is different than what they hear on the radio," said Morrison.

More alumni band music can be heard Thursday, July 3, during the Romney Stadium fireworks performance. On July 6 the band will perform at the Old Main Hill Amphitheater at 7 p.m. With the exception of the July 3 performance, all concerts are free.
