[Ed Schwartz]

The Blacksburg Community Band will presenting its 
18th Annual Spring Concert on Sunday, March 25, 
2007, at 4:00 pm in the Blacksburg High School 
Auditorium on Patrick Henry Drive in Blacksburg, 
Virginia. Under the direction of Ed Schwartz, the 
band will play a variety of music that will 
provide a great afternoon of entertainment for 
the entire family.

Associate Director, Steve Brown, will take the 
podium to direct several numbers, including his 
original composition, "Anzio", based on the 
Allied amphibious assault in 1944 on the beaches 
of Anzio, Italy. The work "Kellie's Song" by 
local composer and long-time band member, John R. 
Howell, will also be featured with oboe soloist 
Kellie Keeling. Other solos include the haunting 
"Prayer of Saint Gregory" by Alan Hovhaness with 
Jason Thomsen performing the trumpet solo, and 
"Chant du Rossignol" by F. Filipovsky featuring 
Mary Walters on the piccolo. The band will also 
perform selections from "Bye Bye Birdie" to 
promote the Summer Musical Enterprise's 
production of the popular Broadway Musical later 
this year.

Admission is free and a reception will follow the concert.
