GLENVILLE, WV – Members of the Glenville State University Concert Band will perform their annual spring concert on Friday, April 29 at 7:00 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center Auditorium.

The concert will include standard concert band classics, along with beloved pop selections celebrating the magic of Harry Potter, the seventies, and American composer John Philip Sousa. Admission is free.

“This has been a big year for all of our student musicians and I cannot stress how hard they have worked over these last few months,” said Associate Professor of Music and Marching, Pep, and Concert Band Director, Dr. Lloyd Bone. “The culmination of this semester with our annual Concert Band Concert and the Honor Band Weekend is something we hope to share with as many members of the community as possible.”

Following the Concert Band concert, which will last a little over an hour, the N’Tranze Band from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina will perform in the Mollohan Campus Community Center Rusty Musket café. N’Tranze is a variety show band that plays everything from Top 40 and hip-hop to rock and country favorites. Their performance will begin at 8:00 p.m. and is also free to attend.

The Concert Band concert is being held in conjunction with the twelfth annual Glenville State University Honor Band. Over 100 high school and middle school students from around West Virginia are scheduled to be in attendance.
