The Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band will continue the events season with works that show the wide breadth of sounds for concert band, including Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter” from “The Planets,” Andrew Boysen’s Symphony No. 4, and Edwin Eugene Bagley’s “National Emblem March,” which John Philip Sousa said was the “finest march I didn’t write.”
