Good evening all,

an orchestral transcription of the Polka from "The Bartered Bride" by
Bedrich Smetana and a new work from James Kazik, staff arranger for
"Pershing's Own", the United States Army Band.

The Symphonic Band welcomes Director of Bands and Instrumental
Activities Phillip Clements, guest conducting "Riff Raff", by Austin,

Owen Reed's band classic "La Fiesta Mexicana", "Make our Garden Grow"
