The Seward Concert Band is thrilled to invite you on an exciting journey as we launch our 49th musical season together. We’re musically headed to Las Vegas, experiencing all the sites, sounds, and adventure of the city.
Our ‘Vegas Vacation’ concert is scheduled for Friday, November 14 at 7:30 pm at Southwest High School – 3414 West 47th Street in Minneapolis. Suggested donations are $6 for adults, $5 for seniors and $4 students and children.
Our road trip includes a march in tribute to the American automobile (and its horn), and a tour of famous pieces from classic western films. We will live it up with classic Las Vegas acts such as Frank Sinatra and ‘Rat Pack’ jazz.
We’ll close our performance with composer Eric Whitacre’s legendary tribute to both Las Vegas and kaiju, Godzilla Eats Las Vegas. In this multimedia piece, you’ll hear tributes to Vegas legends such as Elvis, Wayne Newton, and Liberace as Godzilla lays waste to the city. Tell your friends – it’s an exciting show you won’t want to miss!
