Sidney Civic Band having last concert
Join the Sidney Civic Band downtown on July 23 for their final summer concert: “Music: The Force that Moves Us.” at 7 p.m.
“This last concert of the 44th season of the
Sidney Civic Band will close with a bang,”
states Civic Band conductor, Phil Chilcote. “It will include two overtures that have always had audiences on their feet: “Light Calvary”, and “1812”. Our audience will be treated to the toe- tapping music of
George M. Cohan, and the “National Emblem March” will invoke lots of patriotic feelings. Our soloist Makenna Cabe will
perform “Someone to Watch Over Me”, and
the first half will end with a greatly moving
arrangement of “America the Beautiful”.
As the Olympic Games are opening in Japan, we open the
second half saluting the games performing John Williams’ famous “Olympic Fanfare”. The band will honor two former
bands members who have passed with their traditional memorial
selection: “A Friend Remembered”. “Bugler’s Holiday”, always an audience favorite, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”,
sung by Miss Cabe will lead up to our
season finale... “The 1812 Overture”.
Makenna Cabe is a 2014 graduate of Lehman Catholic High School where
she was active in band, choir, and musicals. Her senior year, she played the lead role of
Dolly Levi in Lehman’s production of Hello Dolly. Makenna completed a B.S. in Marriage and Family Professional Clinical
Studies at BYU and recently returned to the area. She is currently
employed as the office manager and client coordinator at FISH and is teaching private voice lessons.
Several weeks ago, Makenna tied for second place at this summer’s “Sidney’s Got Talent” competition
sponsored by The Historic Sidney Theatre.”
As always, bring a lawn chair to the
event; refreshments will be available for

Connection Point Church of God Relay for Life team beginning 30 minutes prior to the concerts. Two
Spot Pies will be given away to the winner of
our random drawing trivia question. In case
of rain, the concert will be held at the Connection Point Church of God, 1510 Campbell Road, Sidney. The concert is free.
