The set concludes with Christopher Aspaas's spirited "i thank You God for most this amazing day."

The Campus Community Band, led by conductor Robert Belser, will perform classic concert literature, including Julius Fučik's "The Florentiner March" and Carl Wittrock's "Lord Tullamore." Pop culture fans will enjoy a rendition of John Williams' iconic "The Imperial March" (Darth Vader's Theme) from "Star Wars." The program also will feature an arrangement of "Greensleeves" by Alfred Reed, alongside vibrant pieces by Clare Grundman, Robert W. Smith and David Bobrowitz.
