SSCC community band to perform Nov. 7 Patriotic Concert
The Southern State Community Band will honor our nation’s veterans with a Patriotic Concert 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 7, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro.
The Patriotic Concert is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served.
The band will perform a number of patriotic selections, including marches by John Philip Sousa and concert band arrangements. Larry Neeck’s “Sons of Liberty,” named after the society that was influential in bringing about the American Revolution, is a medley of songs from the Revolutionary War era, including “Chester,” “Paul Jones’ Victory” and “Yankee Doodle.” Bill Moffit’s “Armed Forces Salute” is a medley of songs from each branch of the service.
Brian Siemers, director of the Southern State Community Band, reported that one of the band’s initial members was, in fact, a member of the first American women’s military band.
