David McKee leads the Symphony Band in one of the most beloved marches in the band repertory, Jerry Bilik's Block M March.

The Symphonic Wind Ensemble, conducted by Travis J. Cross, presents a Latin-themed program,
including Michael Gandolfi's Vientos y Tangos; a transcription of George Gershwin's Prelude No. 2; and the Mambo, Cha-Cha, Meeting Scene, and Cool from Leonard Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story. Faculty soloists Jason Crafton, trumpet, and Jay Crone, trombone, are featured on Joseph Turrin's Fandango.
