The McAllen Symphonic Band

I had the privilege of attending a Veteran's Day concert by the McAllen Symphonic Band this past week and thoroughly enjoyed it! While I have been to many a symphony/orchestra concert over the years, I've never seen a symphonic band play. There are no stringed instruments in a band (although this one did have a harp strangely enough) but plenty of brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. The sound they create together is rich and full!

Here are a couple samples of the music we enjoyed:
