Classical Sundays continue with Marching 101 on Aug. 23

FALLBROOK – In keeping with its new free concert format, Fallbrook Music Society, for the first time in its history, is featuring the Fallbrook Marching Warriors on its annual concert schedule. “This is a demonstration both of our mission and our belief that music is an integral part of youth education,” said Ann Murray, executive director of the Fallbrook Music Society.

“The section leaders of the Fallbrook Marching Band form the core of our Student Board of Directors, and they provide all the front of house services for our concerts at Bob Burton Performing Arts Center. I am so pleased to have the opportunity to showcase this great group of kids!” Murray added.

The Sunday, Aug. 23 concert is free to the public and will be held at the Fallbrook Public Library. Entitled “Marching 101,” this hour long concert showcases the marching band format, including the different instruments, the formation and the music.

“As widely seen as marching bands are on television and in parades, very few people really know the components of the band and how much is really involved. This is a good chance for the Fallbrook community to learn about the band, these kids and what’s on their horizon as they plan for their trip to London,” remarked Murray. “We invite everyone, young and old to come out and support your Warriors!”

The concert will provide a brief “tour” of the various sections of the band as well as a demonstration of how sound varies section by section. A rousing show of school spirit will conclude the concert with pep charts, fight songs and the Fallbrook High School Alma Mater.

The Fallbrook Library is located at 124 South Mission Rd. A program preview begins at 2:30 p.m. More information is available through FallbrookMusicSociety.org or by calling Fallbrook Music Society at (760) 451-8644.
