Concert in the
Park: McKibben and Crooners
Greenville Municipal Concert Band to Showcase David McKibben and
Crooners
The next concert in the park will be given by the Greenville Municipal
Concert Band this Sunday, August 16th at the Marling Band Shell in the
beautiful Greenville City Park. The concert will beging at 7:30
and will be conducted by JR Price.
We are proud this week to feature the vocal stylings of Greenville
Graduate, Mr. David McKibben. David is a resident of Dayton, Ohio
and in high demand as a professional vocalist, music and theater
director. David was featured with the band last July for our
Indendence Day Celebration Concert. His powerful, operatic voice
will once again be featured as we pay tribute to the art of
crooning. David will be featured with the band on the beautiful
Henry Mancini song Moon River. We will also feature David as a
historical Crooner as he sings a feature written by John Philip Sousa
entitled I've Made My Plans for the Summer and the great Irish Crooning
song When Irish Eyes are Smiling. We are proud to have David join
us in our celebration of crooning.
The Greenville Municipal Concert Band will also pay tribute Sunday
evening to great crooners as well. They will perform music from
Adele, Michael Buble' and one of the greatest crooners ever Frank
Sinatra. Also featured in the band will be the clarinet work of
Brad Pipenger during our overture Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna and
some very fine trombone crooning by Brian McKibben on the great Italian
song O Sole Mio.
Our summer concert series continues this Sunday, August 16th with
Crooners in the Park. The concert will begin at 7:30 and as
always are free and open to the public. There is plenty of
seating available at the Marling Band Shell and you are welcome to
bring your own lawn chair or blanket as well. Bring a friend and
enjoy the show.
A special program note, there will be no concert in the park next
Sunday, August 23. The Jazz Band will be next on August 30th.
