The Sequim City Band presents a free concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 13, at the Sequim High School auditorium, 533 N. Sequim Ave.

After a brief winter hiatus, the band is gearing up to perform a concert band repertoire that includes some favorite marches, musical theater numbers and more recently composed grand overture and haunting elegy.

Selections include “Overture Jubiloso,” “The Girl With the Flaxen Hair,” “Inchon,” “An American Elegy,” “The High School Cadets March,” Alford’s “Army of the Nile” and “Them Basses,” medleys from “The King and I” and “America” from Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story.”

The next band concert is May 15 and marks the beginning of its 25th year.

The announcer for the concert will be retired U.S. Coast Guard veteran Jim Stoffer, who recently was selected the 2016 Irrigation Parade Grand Marshal. For more information about the group, see www.sequimcityband.org.
