On Sunday July 17th, the Brazil Concert Band, with Director Matthew S. Huber, will present Broadway, Frogs and Pirates in Forest Park at 8 pm rain or shine.

This week’s show of fun music includes “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” arranged by James D. Ployhar and “A Salute to Spike Jones” with his renditions of “Cocktails For Two”, “Chloe” and a comical twist to “Poet And Peasant Overture” in a setting by Calvin Custer.

“The Golden Age Of Broadway” highlights musicals by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II to include “South Pacific”, “Oklahoma”, “The King And I” and “The Sound Of Music” in an arrangement by John Moss and “Marching Up Broadway” arranged by Robert Lowden with “Cabaret”, “Hey, Look Me Over” and “Consider Yourself”

A favorite show medley, “Fiddler On The Roof” arranged by John Warrington will be featured.

Two great marches by John Philip Sousa to be performed are “New York Hippodrome” and “Who’s Who In Navy Blue”.

From Disney, sail forth with “Pirates Of The Caribbean” arranged by Ted Ricketts and hop around with “The Walking Frog” by Karl L. King, which was a favorite of the late Harold Plunkett who was a WWII waist gunner in the Army Air Corps.

Rounding out this week’s show are “Angel Eyes” arranged by Carroll DeCamp and “Clarinets Allegro” by Frank Cofield.

The park stand will be ran by the VFW Ladies Auxiliary with a Chicken Noodle Dinner.
