It would be GREAT if you and/or family could attend one or more of the upcoming performances.  They are all AMAZING opportunities for you to hear OUTSTANDING musicians!  —Mr. Spang

U.S. Navy Band

River Hill High School Auditorium

The US Navy Band is one of the elite concert bands in the entire world and they performing right in our neighborhood!  Their winter concert at River Hill always has excellent repertoire and is a lot of fun to listen to … and it’s FREE.  The whole family will enjoy it!

I am really bummed that I can't make this concert myself, as I will be attending a difference performance with my family up in Westminster, Maryland, but I sure hope that many of our FQMS band students and families take advantage of such a great concert!

Lyric Brass at Emmanuel

Emmanuel United Methodist Church

10755 Scaggsville Road, Laurel, Maryland 20723

The Lyric Brass play a Christmas recital at Emmanuel UMC in Laurel.  This is an excellent opportunity to brass playing of the highest level, and fun for everyone regardless of religion or instrument.  The Lyric Brass musicians are members of the premier military bands in Washington DC, faculty at the Peabody Conservatory, and Mr. Spang on tuba.  The recital will be about an hour in length and FREE.  (A free-will offering will be taken to benefit the Music Ministry at Emmanuel.)  Great for the whole family!
