It is comprised of a concert band, a marching band, and numerous music support teams that provide a variety of music genres, including classic military marches, concert literature, rock’n’roll, jazz, and other popular styles.  

The concert hall will open for seating at 6:30 and the concert will begin at 7 p.m.
