ORANGE CITY – The Scottish folk song Loch Lomond and music from The Lord of the Rings will be featured in the Orange City Area Community Band concert Wednesday, June 17.
The Community Band will take the stage at 7:00pm for its first 2015 concert in Orange City’s Windmill Park, part of the Onstage Orange City summer series. Dan Mangold is the director, taking over from long-time community band conductor Carla Van Beek.
Mangold, originally from Sioux Rapids, is band director at MOC-Floyd Valley Middle School, assistant director for the Pride of the Dutchmen marching band, and director of the MOC-FV High full orchestra. He is a trumpeter in the Northwest Iowa Symphony Orchestra and directed the orchestra for the Tulip Festival night show, Mary Poppins. For several years Mangold played trumpet in the Orange City Area Community Band.
The June 17 concert will feature a variety of music, including the rousing Cut to the Chase by Todd Stalter; a Spanish march by Texidor, Amparito Roca; and a medley from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
The band will also play Frank Ticheli’s beautiful arrangement of the Scottish folksong, Loch Lomond; a standard wind piece by Charles Carter, Overture for Winds; and the hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.
The National Emblem March, a classic American band march, plus the Star Spangled Banner, will round out the evening.
Assistant to the community band director is Char Ten Clay.
