“In contrast, ‘The Girl With the Flaxen Hair’ by Claude Debussy is lilting and soft with a sweet soulful English Horn solo performed by Nancy Reis.”
Musical theater numbers include medleys from “The King and I” by Rodgers and Hammerstein and “America” from Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story.”
Robert Smith composed and dedicated “Inchon” to his Korean War veteran father.
According to a news release: “This riveting piece begins and ends with a haunting alto flute solo played by Patsy Mattingly as a Korean girl watches her quiet countryside come under attack.”
Composer Frank Tichelli wrote “An American Elegy” in memory of those who lost their lives at Columbine High School in April 1999 and to honor the survivors.
Marches will include Sousa’s “The High School Cadets March,” Alford’s “Army of the Nile” and “Them Basses” by G.H. Huffine.

Within this vast network, there are 11 Marine Protected Areas, which harbor more than 1,700 fish species, more than 75 percent of the world’s known hard corals and more than 50 percent of the world’s known soft corals.
