"An Evening with the Capitol Pops Concert Band" is set for 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011, at the Citrus Heights Community Center, 6300 Fountain Square Drive.
Under the baton of Director Jerry Lopes, CPCB concerts feature Broadway show tunes, movie themes, marches and patriotic songs, as well as old/new popular standards. For more than a dozen years, the band has performed at venues and events throughout the Sacramento area, including the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee and the west steps of the Capitol in downtown Sacramento.
The Oct. 15 concert is sponsored by the City of Citrus Heights. It is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be available for purchase on-site.
Director Lopes will add to the concert’s fall flair by featuring some spooky Halloween tunes and some lively polka music in honor of international Oktoberfest celebrations. The Citrus Heights concert also will feature vocalists and instrumental soloists.
Musicians in the Capitol Pops Concert band span a wide range of ages, from students to nonagenarians. The CPCB scholarship fund provides private music lessons for interested students.
Started in 1997, the Capitol Pops Concert Band has performed a diverse portfolio of high-quality, well-prepared music heard by thousands of concert-goers throughout Northern California. Based in Fair Oaks, the self-supporting, nonprofit band of about 75 musicians represents a wide cross-section of the Sacramento area.
