For many people, summer starts when the Lafayette Citizens Band plays its Memorial Day concert, and you won't be disappointed this year. The 2012 concert schedule is available. Once again, the LCB will take you from Memorial Day to Labor Day with music on those days and every Thursday in between (with only two exceptions: July 5, because July 4 is our biggest concert of the summer, and August 30, as we prepare our Labor Day finale concert).
This year, we have special pre-concert entertainment lined up for a number of Thursday evenings. That number is currently 3, and it may go up. Just keep checking this website.
Come out early and hear the fun!
Yes, it seems like Memorial Day is still a long way off. So, we present you with some music from the Lafayette Citizens Band to help you get through the winter and spring, until our Memorial Day concert kicks off the 2012 season. Here are three YouTube videos of the LCB.
These performances are from the LCB's 2010 season opening concert in Long Center on May 20, 2012. The excellent videography is by Kerry England, Hornkraft Productions.
"Hoagy Carmichael in Concert": This medley of Indiana composer Hoagy Carmichael's tunes was commissioned for the LCB's 150th anniversary concert in 1992 from Warren Barker, and premiered at that concert.
"Esprit de Corps":, by Robert Jager. This piece is a fantasy on the Marine Corps hymn.
"George Washington Bicentennial March": This John Philip Sousa march was written to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth, and was the last march Sousa composed before his death in 1932.
Enjoy!
