The music selections will include the Las Vegas Brass Band performing "Simmorane March," "The Year of the Dragon" by Phillip Spark and the overture from "The Barber of Seville" by Rossini.
The Community Concert Band will then take the stage to perform "Suite Provencale' by Jan Van der Roost and "March of the Mogul Emperors" from the "Crown of India" by Edward Elgar.
