From the soaring strains of The Star-Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful to the sparkling world premiere of America la Hermosa, our full wind ensemble will take you on a patriotic journey packed with heart, humor, and just the right amount of swagger. Celebrate 250 years of American spirit and the centennial of Palma Ceia Presbyterian Church. Hum along, clap along, and revel in everything that makes America bold, brave, and beautiful!
