In case of inclement weather, the concert will take place in the Michigan City High School Auditorium, 8466 W. Pahs Road.

The concert will feature two premieres! Michigan City composer Dan Schaaf has written Remembering Naomi to honor Naomi Anderson, African-American suffragist and Michigan City native. Remembering Naomi will be narrated by Michigan City’s Carnessa Carnes.

On the same night, a new concerto by Dr. Kimberly Archer—titled Summer Nights at the Bandstand—will showcase the band with world-class euphonium soloist GySgt. Hiram Diaz, from the US Marine Band, “The President’s Own.”

Prince in Concert arr. Paul Murtha

Pax by Catherine McMichael

Remembering Naomi, by Michigan City composer Dan Schaaf, uses music, historical narrative, and the words of Naomi Anderson to tell the story of Michigan City’s important suffragist. Mr. Schaaf is the founder of Sudden Productions. For almost 25 years, his music, videos, and music theatre works have been acclaimed in performances throughout Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and New York. The commissioned arranger for Remembering Naomi is Alexander Keim, a LaPorte native and Valparaiso University graduate. Mr. Keim is a professional percussionist.

Dr. Kimberly Archer teaches at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. Her compositions have been played around the world, including the most recent national tour of the US Coast Guard Band. In Summer Nights at the Bandstand, Dr. Archer has brought the virtuosic turn-of-the-twentieth-century solo tradition into the 21st century. Dr. Archer’s composition showcases the world-class musicianship of euphoniumist GySgt. Hiram Diaz, and also gives a nod to the Olympics.

Gunnery Sergeant Hiram Diaz grew up in Miami. He graduated from Miami’s New World School of the Arts, then earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music.

Astor Piazzola was an Argentine composer who was famous for tangos. Oblivion is a tango that demonstrates the stylistic versatility of our band members. We’re playing Oblivion to honor active Michigan City Municipal Band members oboist Susan Smith and clarinetist Roger Smith, for their many decades of service to the band. Between the two in this wife and husband team, they have played in the Michigan City Municipal Band for 126 years!

Composer Tyler Arcari is Instrumental Music Editor for Excelcia Music Publishing. He wrote Phoenix to depict the fiery bird from Greek mythology.

Lauren Bernofsky is an acclaimed musician who earned a doctoral degree in composition from Boston University. Cloud Nine was written to share joyfulness and exuberance. Dr. Bernofsky achieved this by alternating rhythms between groups of three and groups of two.

Conducting Nostalgia in the Air by Kelijah Dunton will be Bridget Flory. Ms. Flory plays saxophone in the Michigan City Municipal Band and Windiana Concert Band. She serves as director of bands for the River Forest Schools. A native of Valparaiso, Ms. Flory earned her bachelor’s degree in music education from Ball State University.

Henry Mancini was one of America’s most successful composers, having had countless hits, and winning four Academy Awards and 20 Grammy Awards. Stephen Bulla’s Mancini! arrangement includes several of Henry Mancini’s most recognizable hits: The Pink Panther, Moon River, Baby Elephant Walk, and Peter Gunn.

The tenth and final concert of the 155th season of the Michigan City Municipal Band (MCMB) will be held Thursday, August 10, 7:30p, at the Guy F. Foreman Bicentennial Amphitheater in Washington Park.

James Reese Europe was the first African American bandmaster in the US Army. Before World War I, Mr. Europe was a successful band leader and composer in the USA, earning the nickname “The King of Jazz”, and he led the first concert by African Americans at Carnegie Hall in 1912. Maestro Europe went on to lead a renowned military band in Europe during World War I. Upon his death in 1919, Lieutenant Europe was the first African American in New York City to have a public funeral, and he was then laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Castle House Rag showcases the Ragtime style. The United States military band of Lieutenant James Reese Europe is believed to have played the first Ragtime music in France.

The Bonsai Tree honors a 500-year-old Bonsai tree that is considered one of Japan’s treasures. Composer Julie Giroux received her formal education from Louisiana State University and Boston University. In 1985, she began composing, orchestrating, and conducting music for television and films. When Ms. Giroux won her first Emmy Award, she was the first woman, and the youngest person ever, to win the award in that category. The Bonsai Tree demonstrates the beautiful blended tones of the concert band.

Take on Me is the classic 1984 pop tune by the Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha. It accompanied a ground-breaking music video.

Guy Forrest Foreman was perhaps the most important part of the legacy of the Michigan City Municipal Band. He conducted the band for 60 of its first 133 years. Singing Sands Overture was written in 1955, and was the fifth of Dr. Foreman’s seven works to be published by Belwin. Maestro Foreman wrote that Singing Sands Overture was “named for the famous singing sands to be found on the beaches of the Indiana Dunes at the foot of Lake Michigan. The term singing sands comes from the musical murmuring of the countless grains of sand as they are continuously being shifted about by the lake breezes.”

John Philip Sousa led the US Marine Band for 12 years, then went on toContinue reading→

Blue Water, Blue Sky contains beautiful themes that represent Lake Michigan, the blue sky at Washington Park, and even an original sea shanty for the band. Pax is a gentle and reflective composition that allows us to envision peaceful sounds and a peaceful world.

Austyn R. Edwards (1891-1977) was a professional trumpet player who taught brass instruments at Valparaiso University, and was conductor of the band at the Kingsbury Ordnance Plant in LaPorte County. In addition to 55 marches, including Pride of the Marines, Mr. Edwards was the author of two important method books for trumpet.

Juventino Rosas (1868-1894) was a Mexican composer and violinst. His composition, Sobre Las Ojas (Over the Waves), is a smooth waltz that audience members will recognize from its frequent use as background music for trapeze artists in the circus.

Kelly Bennette’s composition The Basses are Loaded is a comical way to proclaim that the lowest voices in the band have the melody. Mr. Bennette is professional tuba player and retired music educator with nearly 100 compositions to his credit.

Also from Texas, JaRod Hall is music educator, composer, and professional tuba player. In his program notes from Tripwire, Mr. Hall suggests that the audience imagine “…a team of bandits who must escape a secret hideout without being Continue reading→

Smith teaches at Troy University in Alabama, and has published over 600 compositions and arrangements.

Alleluia! Laudamus Te is a canticle of praise by Alfred Reed. Dr. Reed was one of the most successful composers of band music in the second half of the 20th Century, and was one of the first leaders in the creation of collegiate academic degree programs to prepare students for the music industry.

While on tour in 1914 and 1924, the Sousa Band played concerts in Michigan City.

The Hoosier Slide disappeared after years of mining to make glass jars.
