Marine Band Director Colonel Jason K. Fettig will conduct “The President’s Own” in concert this week in two performances highlighting brass soloists and a lineup almost exclusively comprised of 20th century composers. The program begins with a circus march by Karl L. King followed by a brass concerto featuring soloists Master Gunnery Sgt. Mark Jenkins on euphonium and Master Sgt. Hilary Harding on French horn. Mezzo-soprano vocalist Master Sgt. Sara Sheffield will also solo on the program, singing Harold Arlen’s “Lose That Long Face” from the 1954 film A Star is Born featuring Judy Garland. Other works on the program include John Mackey’s This Cruel Moon and Giouse Bonelli’s Symphonic Concert March. - Marine Band Director Colonel Jason K.
