The Lehighton Band will present its third and final concert of the 2022 season.

The theme for the concert is “It’s All About Popular,” and it will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday in the Lehighton Borough Park Amphitheater.

The selections in the concert are varied, but all feature popular selections with music to suit every taste.

The band will start with the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and its opening march is the “Flying Cadets March” by Karl King. The opening overture of the concert is “River of Life” written in a very modern format by one of today’s leading concert band composers, Steven Reineke.

The song contains three of his hits including “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” “Daniel” and “Crocodile Rock.” Selections from Disney/Pixar’s “Up.” It contains “We’re in the Club Now,” “The Spirit of Adventure” and “Russell Like Fine Whine.”

To this day, very few movies have reached the popularity of MGM’s classic motion picture “The Wizard of Oz.” It features “Over the Rainbow,” “Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead,” “We’re Off to See the Wizard,” “The Merry Old Land of Oz” and “If I Only Had a Brain.”

The next song is titled “Pop and Rock Legends: Neil Diamond,” which incudes his music “America,” “Sweet Caroline,” “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers,” “Cherry, Cherry” and “I’m a Believer.”
