A trio of musical performances by the talented community members and students of LSC-Kingwood will delight music lovers throughout the month of March.
The Kingwood Community Symphonic Band and Jazz Ensemble will kick off the month with a free performance on Thursday, March 5. The KCSB is made up of both students and community members. They perform a wide variety of music, including Broadway and show tunes, transcriptions of orchestral works and original compositions for band. The Jazz Ensemble is comprised of LSC-Kingwood students performing on piano, bass, guitar, drum set, trumpet, and trombone.
Kris Chapman, conductor of the KCSB, says the music for the program will be quite lively and enjoyable for all ages. "Our concert features the energetic rhythms of Hungarian Gypsy melodies in Puszta, the regalia and pageantry of the famous military unit drawn from Russian nobility in Entry March of the Boyars and the beloved American folk song, Simple Gifts, treated in a unique way by composer John Zdechlik in Chorale and Shaker Dance."
Marvin Sparks, director of the Jazz Ensemble, promises more of the same from his group. They will perform several selections, including Tengo Tango, Caravan, and Teen Town. Sparks says Chad Willis, who plays an integral part in the production and performance of this concert, was selected as the lead trumpet player for the TCCBDA (Texas Community College Band Directors Association) All-State Band and performed at the TMEA (Texas Music Educators Association) conference recently.
