During this concert the SSO will feature a survey of French Marches. As in our familiar Sousa marches, these marches consist of a lively and steady beat. However, as you will hear, these selections offer interesting variety to the traditional marches.

The program also includes two medleys. The first one, Star Wars Epic Part 2 commemorates the 50th anniversary of the landing on the moon, and the second piece, Over There, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI, in which the audience will be invited to along.

The Orchestra’s conductor, Dan Pasquale D’Andrea, has been with the orchestra since its beginning in 2000, and has helped develop the orchestra into an award winning 45-piece performing organization, which presents more than 15 concerts per year for venues such as retirement homes, schools, and community organizations. Although there is no charge for the concert, donations are appreciated.
