In honor of the new fall season, the band will perform Johnny Mercer’s “Autumn Leaves” arranged by Alfred Reed.

The band’s first Broadway selection will be music from “The Producers,” which includes eight songs from the wildly popular musical.

“How the West Was Won” is a western fantasy the band will play in honor of western movies. Although not movie related, the band has chosen the 1950s hit, “Shake, Rattle and Roll” as its next selection.

The band will then skip back to Broadway to perform “Selections from Into the Woods” with music by Stephen Sondheim.

The next march is by Eric Osterling and is titled “The Nutmeggers.”

Selections from the Broadway musical “Pippin” will follow which includes “Corner the Sky,” “Magic to Do,” “Extraordinary,” “Simple Joys,” “Morning Glow” and “Finale” and are arranged by Ralph Ford.

The band will continue with Highlights from the movie “The Right Stuff.”

The final Broadway selection for the concert is “Selections from The Phantom of the Opera.” It includes “Think of Me,” “Angel of Music,” “The Phantom of the Opera,” “All I ask of You,” “The Point of No Return” and the “Music of the Night” arranged by Warren Barker.

The band will conclude the concert with an encore performance of John Philip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.”

The Lehighton Band is under the direction of Bradly R. Cressley.

The concert is free to the public, but free will offerings are always appreciated as the band is nonprofit.

The band is in the process of changing banks, so unfortunately checks cannot be accepted at this time.
