Suggested Headline: Symphonic Band gears up for Dec. 8 performance

The South Plains College Symphonic Band will be performing on Dec. 8 at the Theatre for the Performing Arts.

The program is entitled “Contemporary Treatments of Medieval Themes.” Pieces which will be performed include “Color” by Bob Margolis, selected movements from “Carmina Burana” by Carl Orgg, excerpts from “Lord of the Rings” by Johan De Meij and the traditional song “Greensleeves.”

Symphonic Band Director Lynda Reid said that the musicians have enjoyed getting ready for the performance.

“The students have enjoyed preparing the music and learning the link to the Medieval period,” she said.

The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m.  Admission is free for the concert, but the band is asking patrons to bring a can of food to be donated to the local food bank.
