Dear Friends and Music Lovers,
The Ontario/Chaffey Community Show Band will present a program entitled "Wonderful World of LeRoy Anderson" on June 16, 2008 at 7:30 pm. The show will celebrate the centennial of the birth of American composer LeRoy Anderson.
The name LeRoy Anderson may not ring any bells for most folks, but everyone has heard “Sleigh Ride,” a Christmas favorite for many. You may have heard his crazy "Syncopated Clock" that gives up 'ticking' for a syncopated beat. His "Sandpaper Ballet" features three grits of sandpaper, or the musical composition that features a real typewriter as the solo instrument. LeRoy Anderson’s music is pure Americana, made only in America.
Guest performers will be the Colony High School Show Chorus directed by Mike Bachman and David Berry, Ontario High School Director of Bands.
This will be the final show of the Ontario/Chaffey Community Show Band's 2007/2008 Concert Series. The concert will be broadcast on local Ontario cable Channel 3. Check your cable listings for the date and time.
Should you like a DVD copy of any of our 2006/2007 shows, please stop by any of our concerts and pick up a copy. They will be available in the lobby for a $10 donation.
The Show band will be featured on the R. Jack Mercer Bandstand on Euclid Avenue in Downtown Ontario directly following the 4th of July Parade. Our 2008/2009 concert season will begin next October.
Your Favorite Band Director,
Jack
