Williamston ‘Concerts in the Park’ ends season with ‘Shades of Blue’ Thursday
Williamston ‘Concerts in the Park’ is very fortunate to end the season with the honor of hosting the United States Air Force Band - Shades of Blue - this Thursday, August 21. The performance will be at McCormick Park, starting at 7pm.
The Shades of Blue Jazz Ensemble, St. Louis MO, is a group of 18 professional enlisted musicians whose repertoire ranges from traditional big band jazz, to bebop and swing, to modern jazz. At one of their concerts you are just as likely to hear the music of contemporary composers as you would the classic sounds of Count Basie or Glenn Miller. Several of the band's members are also gifted composers and arrangers, and their compositions are often featured in concert.
Whether performing for a head of state, before a capacity crowd in northern Wisconsin or for our troops at home and abroad, the Shades of Blue reflects the heritage and pride of our great nation and the United States Air Force.
Shades of Blue is hosted by the Williamston Area Beautfication Fund, the non-profit that was created in 2003 to build the park bandshell, and now raises funds to "put music in it."
