The Sequim City Band pays homage to the nation’s heritage with “Themes Like Americana,” the group’s concert set for 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 3, at the James Center For the Performing Arts in Sequim.

This free outdoor concert is under the leadership of director Tyler Benedict.

The event features singer Joel Yelland, who steps out of the percussion section to lead the band in “Irish Songs For Solo and Band”; this trio of Gaelic tunes includes “Deirin De,” “Jug of Punch” and the ballad, “Danny Boy.”

The band will perform a medley called “Themes Like Old Times,” with Americana classics such as “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” by Irving Berlin and “I Want a Girl Just Like the One That Married Dear Old Dad.” Also included are “Peg O My Heart,” “By the Light of the Silvery Moon, ” and “Twelfth Street Rag.”

Following that is John Philip Sousa’s march, “The Gallant Seventh,” which hails from 1922, and George and Ira Gershwin’ political satire called “Strike Up the Band” from 1927.

“Duke Ellington In Concert” is a medley paying tribute to the legendary American composer, pianist and band leader, and it includes signature tunes “Take the A Train,” “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” “Mood Indigo,” “Caravan” and “It Don’t Mean a Thing.”

“Highlights From ‘Jersey Boys’” takes a nostalgic look at some popular songs of the 1960s while showcasing the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons; included are “Walk Like a Man,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Rag Doll.”

Also written in 1964, Claude T. Smith’s “Declaration Overture” is a showy concert band overture with a powerful fanfare opening, plenty of percussion challenges, and it features a trumpet solo.

The concert also features “A Hymn For Band” by Hugh Stuart, a 1985 composition with smooth, flowing melodies and a dramatic conclusion.

The guest announcer for this concert is musician Beth Pratt, who is deeply involved in the musical community of Sequim in her role as president of the Sequim Community Orchestra Board.

Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, hats and weather appropriate gear to the James Center band shell. As always, the concert is free of charge, through donations are accepted.
