Full Description:

Band of the Hills is proud to celebrate its 10 year anniversary with a FREE concert on May 4, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. at the Cedar Park High School Performing Arts Center Auditorium. Selections include the William Tell Overature, a Russian dance piece, and a hot number from the Movie 1941 called Swing, Swing, Swing. Bring your friends and family and support community groups. We are also playing April 27 at HEB Central Market at 6:20. Band of the Hills was formed in 1998 with a handful of dedicated musicians and Bob Dalrymple as the director. Their dream was to provide an opportunity for amateur musicians of all ages to perform in a dedicated ensemble and bring a quality community band to the area. Today, Band of the Hills has 75+ members drawn from Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Leander and Lago Vista. We are a wind band made up of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments. Our concerts include wide variety of music, including big band jazz, movie themes, marches, orchestral transcriptions, Broadway show tunes and traditional band literature.While Austin has the title “Live Music Capital of the World”, Band of the Hills brings the joy of live music to Cedar Park. We entertain audiences every year at the Cedar Park and Leander Christmas Family Fun Nights and the Fourth of July celebration in Milburn Park. We also perform a number of other free concerts at various locations. For more information and concert schedule please visit our website at www.bandofthehills.org
