On Sunday, June 14, the Tri-County Symphonic Band, directed by Philip Sanborn, will be under the Grand Tent at Tabor Academy for its Annual Pops Concert to benefit the John R. Pandolfi Music Scholarship Fund. This year’s concert will be a festive celebration of Flag Day and 250 years of independence. The music will be a patriotic parade of classic American tributes to the flag and our country. The concert begins with John Williams’ “Liberty Fanfare” and is followed by “A Jefferson Portrait,” “American Civil War Fantasy,” “Variations on America,” “America the Beautiful” and a host of iconic, flag-waving arrangements. Cupcakes and lemonade will be part of the festivities along with a multi-prized raffle with the proceeds benefiting the scholarship fund.
Doors will open at 12:00 noon. The music starts at 2:00 pm with a social hour at 1:00 pm. The grand tent, with ample space and excellent ventilation on all sides, is virtually an open-air concert venue, on the Sippican Harbor waterfront.
Tickets are $40 in advance and can be purchased at the Symphony Music Shop in North Dartmouth, Mimi’s of Marion or online at www.tricountysymphonicband.org/ Tickets can be purchased at the door on the day of the event for $50 each.
