ORILLIA CONCERT BAND
************************
Come to the movies with the Orillia Concert Band on March 2, 7:30 p.m. at St Paul’s Centre.
The Orillia Concert Band, under the direction of Randy Hoover invites you to enjoy “Memories from the Silver Screen!” Tap, whistle and hum along with such themes as The Magnificent Seven, Bond — James Bond and Great Movie Marches which includes themes from Bridge on the River Kwai and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Dream of romance, joy and heartache with Highlights from Évita and The Sound of Music.
As the jewel in the evening’s crown, the band will accompany the wonderful soprano voice of Alexandra Teske in “I Could Have Danced All Night” from My Fair Lady and As Time Goes By from Casablanca. And her lovely soprano will blend with the beautiful tenor of Dr. Dean Jobin-Bevans of Lakehead University to break your hearts with Time to Say Good-bye.
The Orillia Concert Band's euphonium player, Cal Landers, will also present a solo — a beautiful and mellow performance of Cinéma Paradiso.
