Tonight's concert features stellar vocalist, Karen Marguth, singing "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "As Time Goes By."
The theme for the evening's concert is "Classics" and the band plays such classic music as Sousa's "Washington Post," music from "West Side Story," Bach's "Fugue in E Minor" (arranged by Wally Engstrom), and the hauntingly beautiful "Swedish Folk Suite." Guest vocalist Katie Engstrom sings the timeless "God Bless the Child" and the swinging "Orange Colored Sky." Guest percussionist Joe Lizama, always an audience favorite, drives the jazz standard "Sing, Sing, Sing" (with a surprise visit by Gene Doi on sax) and is also featured in the wonderful "In the Miller Mood."
