The Oak Ridge Community Band/Wind Ensemble will present its last indoor concert of the 2015-2016 “Every Day is Better with Music” series on Sunday, April 3. This performance will be held at the Oak Ridge High School Performing Arts Center at 3:30 p.m. Admission is $5 for all adults over age 18, and it includes free refreshments in the lobby at the conclusion of the show.

“This Sunday’s performance promises to be exceptional featuring music about America and a number of selections written by American composers,” a press release said. “A highlight of this concert will be guest soprano vocalist Lettie Andrade De La Torre, who will be making a return appearance to sing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s beautiful ‘Music of the Night’ from ‘Phantom of the Opera.'”

Another high note of Sunday’s show will be a unique narration of Ernest Thayer’s poem by Oak Ridge High School student Lucas Potter as the band plays Randol Bass’s “Casey at the Bat” focusing on America’s favorite summertime sport, baseball, the press release said.

The audience will also enjoy hearing the Community Band perform Henry Fillmore’s “Shoutin’ Liza Trombone” featuring the band’s trombone section, and other songs on Sunday’s program include Clare Grundman’s “Second American Folk Rhapsody,” “Finale” from Anton Dvorak’s “New World Symphony,” Sousa’s “Black Horse Troop,” and Karl King’s familiar “Barnum and Bailey’s Favorite.” More tunes on Sunday’s concert will be Rick Kirby’s “An American Fanfare” and “Warren Barker’s arrangement of Ward’s “From Sea to Shining Sea,” the press release said.
