"America's Best"

Doors open at 2:20 PM

This concert features memorable music from a sampling of America's top composers and much more! Bernstein is represented by Simple Song from his Mass and selections from band member and Manager Carmen Catania who passed in the spring of 2024. Hmmm... I wonder what out of this world music John Williams In Concert will feature? We toot our horns in George Gershwin's America In Paris, the as a tribute to late band member Ed Curtis we perform Transcendent Journey by Galante, music Ed donated to the GVCB. For the grand finale we'll perform Jitterbug then Salute To Dick Clark which FYI includes "Y-M-C-A" and y'all know what happens when THAT song is performed!

"Around The World In Ninety Minutes"
March 2, 2025 - 3 PM
Doors open at 2:20 PM

We begin our tour in the U.S. performing John William's dynamic Liberty Fanfare then travel to France performing selections from Darius Milhaud's Suite Francais. Want some excitement? Visit Pilatus, Mountain Of Dragons high in the Swiss Alps near Lucerne, area of John Snavely's ancestors. Time for a tribute to our Armed Forces members with an Armed Forces Salute. Sing along and clap your hands with gusto! Stand up for yourself or represent a family member or fired in any of the U.S. military services. Several years ago the GVCB performed music to pay tribute to Vietnam Vets. This time we perform Inchon written by composer Robert Smith saluting those who served in Korea. More on our journey: Arabesque, music from the Middle East, then to Spain with the spirited Fiesta De Toros. We bring it back home performing America The Beautiful arranged by Carmen Dragon. 

"Chapeaux!"
April 13, 2025 - 3 PM
Doors open at 2:20 PM

Ever noticed that I play dress up and wear hats? Apparently the GVCB Board noticed and contracted composer Jack Stamp to compose a work with five movements. Stamp will conduct his new piece while I sit on stage and wear a different hat prescribed by Stamp for each movement! The name of Jack's composition is Chapeaux, also the title of the concert!

Other outstanding works on the concert include: Fuego Del Alto, Chorale and Alleluia, Lincolnshire Posy and we hope you'll enjoy singing along to My Fair Lady! Lively music Jack Stamp composed for our late timpanist Peg Bowden Border Dance will be followed by my performance of John Denman's Crossover Concerto for clarinet and band.
