Panola College Concert, Jazz Bands to Present Fall Concert

October 12, 2020 - The Panola College Concert and Jazz Bands will present their fall concert on Tuesday, October 27 at 6:00 p.m. The concert will be presented on the outdoor quad, located between the Martha Miller Administration Building and the M.P. Baker Library on the Panola College campus.

The concert band will perform “Flight of Eagles” by the American composer, Elliot Del Borgo, who wrote the music for the closing ceremonies at the 1980 Olympics. The band will also perform Robert W. Smith’s “Encanto.” Both pieces contain exciting rhythms very suitable for the outdoor event.

The jazz band will also perform “I Feel Good” by James Brown, as well as “I Dreamed a Dream,” and “Here’s That Rainy Day.” The band will feature soloists on “The Way We Were,” as well as “Boogie Shoes” and the Beatle’s hit, “Lady Madonna.”

“We are hoping to provide a safe and enjoyable opportunity for members of the community to come out and take part in an evening of music,” said Dwaine Hubbard, Panola College Band Director.

The concert is open to the public with admission being free of charge. Due to concerns regarding Covid-19 and the health and safety of the audience and musicians, social distancing is required. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets to sit on.
