Bandfest is the one time each year when three Cal Poly Bands are featured on stage: Mustang Band, Wind Ensemble, and Wind Orchestra. The world-famous Boston Brass will perform alongside the ensembles as well as treat the audience to its own set on the program. Works on the program include Brian Balmages’ “A House Divided,” inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s speeches on the floor of the House of Representatives; John Philip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever”; and a jazz medley arranged by Music Department faculty member Dave Becker that will feature Boston Brass. The 220-member Mustang Band will conclude the concert with arrangements of popular music the group is performing at this fall’s football games. In recognition of Veterans Day on Nov. 11, the program will include selections honoring military veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. More information is on the Music Department’s calendar website. Tickets are sold at the Cal Poly Ticket Office, 805-756-4849.
