The Nevada County Concert Band (directed by Cheryl Woldseth) plays John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever" as the encore at the 2nd concert of 3 Picnic & Pops Concerts held annually each summer at Pioneer Park in Nevada City, California. This 7/26/09 concert was themed "Americans We," and featured an extended band. In July, the NCCBand hosts a "musician invitational" event, and invites band/percussion players to join for the day (including a morning rehearsal and sheet music in advance). This year's group numbered 115. For some reason, this recording features a single tuba along with the band. We're not sure why, but it is fun to hear. For more information, go to the band's webpage at http://nccb.org
11 tubas! No wonder it sounds like a tuba solo!!
