Community Band to play concert on Tuesday, November 30

The Community Band will hold a Christmas Concert on Tuesday, November 30, at the Annie Hogan Byrd Auditorium on the Tusculum College campus.

The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Special guest for the performance will be Jimmie E. Self. Self is a retired Chief Master Sergeant from the United States Air Force Band Program. He has performed for four U.S. Presidents and many foreign heads of state in over 20 countries. 

The concert is set to be enjoyable for the whole family with a variety of music and styles.

Self teaches tuba and euphonium at East Tennessee State University and is the principal trombonist with the Symphony of the Mountains.

 “The music is from almost every style and time period, from Bach to Sinatra” said Mike May, director of the Community Band.  “It should be an enjoyable concert for all, not to mention the amazing euphonium performance of Jimmie Self.”

  The Community Band is a musical group that consists of amateur musicians from the local area and includes all age groups. The group has regular practices each week at the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Building on the Tusculum College campus.
