The Northwestern band will host a virtual concert Friday at 4 p.m. The concert, titled “A Virtual Concert,” will be streamed on the university’s Facebook page.
Dr. Michael Seth Cudd, the university’s band director, said approximately 30 students will perform during the concert.
The jazz band will play “Now’s the Time” by Charlie Parker and “Sesame Street Theme” by Joe Raposo. The symphonic band will play “Salvation is Created” by Pavel Tchesnokov and “Suspended Animation” by Patrick J. Burns.
“I don’t think there is just one good piece,” Cudd said. “All the pieces are worth watching, and I hope that the people who watch will watch the whole thing.”
Band members said they are excited for the performance.
“I play the tuba, and I am excited to show that music is still alive regardless of the pandemic,” Jeff Cher-aime said.
“I play the euphonium, and I am just excited to be able to play in a concert season again even with the limitations we have,” Cam Gibbs said.
There is no admission charge to attend the concert. To view it, visit the university’s Facebook page, Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
