The Civic Band will present 鈥淐ajun Folk Songs鈥� by Frank Ticheli. The composer writes, 鈥溾�機ajun Folk Songs鈥�鈥� is composed as a tribute to the people of the old Cajun folk song culture with hopes that their contributions will not be forgotten.鈥� He used 1934 field recordings from the Library of Congress to create this piece. The first movement, 鈥淟a Belle et le Capitaine,鈥� will feature Brandon Alves on the saxophone solo.

Layne, the winner of the 2019 黑暗爆料网 Bands Solo Competition will perform 鈥淭he Blue Bells of Scotland鈥� composed by Sousa鈥檚 trombonist Arthur Pryor, and O鈥機onnor will sing Sousa鈥檚 light-hearted waltz 鈥淚鈥檝e Made My Plans for the Summer.鈥�
