Pennsbury Community Band Performing Classics-Filled Concert

FAIRLESS HILLS, PA — The Pennsbury Community Band will be performing a concert at Pennsbury High School East on Thursday, March 3.

The band will be performing the wind band program 'Divertimento', which will feature classics by composers Frank Ticheli, John Phillip Sousa, and Vincent Persichetti.

The program will also feature pieces by Erin Busch, Cindy McTee, Steven Bryant, and Julie Giroux. These will be the most recent additions to the concert.

The community band was founded by Christopher Bygott in 2011 "to fulfill the need of providing an opportunity for life long learning to the community within the Pennsbury Instrumental Music Department," according to the band's official website.

"The group is made up of professionals, serious amateurs, Pennsbury alumni & faculty, community members from in and around Pennsbury and select Pennsbury high school students," the website continued. "The group plays a variety of band literature, focusing on high quality concert music, standard band repertoire, and modern compositions."

The show will be performed at the high school's auditorium at 7:30 p.m.
