The Southern State Community Band will present its annual spring concert 2:30 p.m. Sunday, May 6, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on SSCC's Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. The event is free of charge and open to the public.

"The program will include something to suit all tastes as both the community band and jazz ensemble prepare special pieces for the concert," said instructor Brian Siemers.

Music selections to be performed by the Community Band include: "Air Force One," "Atlantis: The Lost Continent," "Allegretta from Beethoven's Symphony No. 7," "Disney Movie Magic," "Expression," "Follow The River," "A Scottish Portrait" and "Storm Chasers." The Jazz Ensemble will perform "Blue Monk," "Round Midnight," "Straight No Chaser" and "Thelonius Monk."

In addition to the concert performance, on display will be a special quilt in support of the Southern State Community Band. The quilt was designed by Caroline Siemers and ties together themes of music and patriotism. It was pieced by Holly Culbreath, master quilter and owner of Spice Cottage Quilts in Hillsboro, and quilted by Wendy Culbreath. The retail value of the quilt is $500. Raffle tickets will be available during the May 6 concert and the raffle will be held in early July.

The Southern State Community Band is open to students at the college as well as community members who enjoy making music. For more information about participating in the band, please contact Siemers at 1-800-628-7722, ext. 2634, or bsiemers@sscc.edu.
