May 3: The Coker College Music Program presents the Coker College Concert Band's Spring Concert

The Coker College Music Program will present the Coker College Concert Band’s Spring Concert at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, May 3 in the Watson Theater of the Elizabeth Boatwright Coker Performing Arts Center.

Featuring the Coker Concert Band, the Coker Jazz Ensemble and the Coker Flute Choir, the concert will be directed by Steve and Penny Rogers with guest conductors Mark Dickinson and Miranda Easterling.

“The recital will include a variety of band pieces, from traditional marches, to New Orleans jazz, to an arrangement of music by George Gershwin,” said Graham Wood, associate professor of music and coordinator of the music and musical theatre programs. “If you like instrumental music, there's a little something for everyone. The Concert Band is a true community ensemble made up of Coker Students, local area public school students—including several from the Governor's School for Science and Math—and local Hartsville community members.”

The concert is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Rogers at band@coker.edu.
