Join us this Saturday at 3pm for Honoring Our Veterans! Read on to see what director Dr. Francis Cook has to say about a few of the pieces you’ll hear at the concert.
William D. Pardus, Fanfare for Patriots presented by the Cheyenne Brass Band- This was originally composed as an entry in the Dallas Wind Symphony's "fanfare competition." The work is scored for traditional brass choir: an orchestra section (3 trumpets, 4 horns, 3 trombones, euphonium, and tuba) with timpani. The work has a "contemporary feel" by mixing traditional harmonies with quartal writing, as well as some occasional changing meters.

John Williams, March from "1941" presented by the LCCC Wind Ensemble-This up-tempo and memorable march was a main theme in the Steven Spielberg comedy film 1941, starring John Belushi as "Wild Bill Kelso." The result is a zanily patriotic march that move you to tap your feet to the humorous, playful rhythms.

Mark your calendars for our next two concerts!

On November 11th, the LCCC Wind Ensemble and Cheyenne Brass Band will be performing the annual Honoring Our Veterans Concert as part of Veterans Day weekend.

On November 12th, the LCCC choirs will be performing A Vocal Showcase in collaboration with Central High School’s art and choir students. All LCCC and LCSD students that attend this concert will be eligible to win gift cards from local businesses and restaurants, or tickets to local events!
