Danville Community Band Spring Concert

The Band Wraps Up it 15th Season with a final seated performance recognizing John Williams

A Salute to John WilliamsSunday, June 12, 2016 at 3:00 p.m.
Community Presbyterian Church, 222 W. El Pintado Rd, Danville, CA 94526

The Band presents its season finale performance in recognition of master composer, John Williams, winner of numerous awards, including five Academy Awards. We present some of Williams’ most iconic works, including music from the films Star Wars, Superman, and Warhorse, as well as marches and other first-rate works.
The band will also award its annual Student Instrument Scholarship to a deserving student. This successful program of giving back to the community by awarding a new instrument is now into its second decade. Join us for this blockbuster finale event. The concert is FREE!

The 85-member, all volunteer band continues to flourish under the baton of Dr. Robert Calonico (Director of Bands at UC Berkeley) since his appointment to the podium in 2009 by founding director, Dr. Lawrence Anderson, and with the generous financial support of our grateful audiences (the band is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization). In addition to its regular concert schedule, the band will be performing at the 11a.m. Memorial Day observance at Oakhill Park for the Viet Nam veterans of the San Ramon Valley, and the Kiwanis Independence Day parade on the 4th of July playing from 8:30a.m. until the start of the parade.
