The Oregon Symphonic Band is the state’s

challenging wind ensemble music.
The award-winning band is composed of 65
brass, woodwind and percussion musicians. They
all volunteer to play together for their love of
music. These passionate musicians are some of
the area’s best professional and amateur instru-
mentalists.
For its Clatskanie program, the band will
perform “Spy Ring” by Richard L. Saucedo;
“Swirling Prisms” by Brian Balmages; “Seas of
the Moon” by Robert Buckley; highlights from
“Beauty and the Beast” by Alan Menken and ar-
ranged by John Moss; “Tuba Tiger Rag” featuring
Mark Vehrencamp on tuba by Harry DeCosta and
arranged by Luther Henderson; “Bright Nights,
City Lights” by Paul Hart.
Tickets are $10 for adults; $8 for seniors 60
and older and students; $6 for children 12 and
under. Any band student will be admitted for free.
Tickets are available at clatskaniearts.com or
