John Phillip Sousa will be marching in his grave Tuesday night

Imagine the stirring marching music of John Phillip Sousa. Do you see the gleaming brass instruments and hear the beat of the drums?

Now imagine 125 musicians playing one of the greatest marches of all time, “Semper Fidelis” by the March King himself, John Phillip Sousa.

But you don't have to imagine. You can hear the actual performance at the Shoreline Concert Band “March Madness” concert this coming Tuesday. March 12 at the Shorecrest Performing Arts Center. (map courtesy Arts Council)

Marches being performed by the Shoreline Concert Band are by Holst, John Williams, and E.E. Bagley.

The finale of the evening will be all 125 band members - Shoreline Concert Band and Shorecrest Wind Ensemble - playing together, crowding onto the stage at Shorecrest to end this evening of great music.

Tickets are available only at the door. General admission $8, senior and students $6, and SCC students $4.
