The Gaston Symphonic Band Will Perform
"Reflections of Autumn."

Featuring more than 70 musicians, the Gaston Symphonic Band will celebrate fall with its annual concert, "Reflections of Autumn," on Friday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. at Second Baptist Church in Mount Holly.
The concert is free and will feature music that appeals to a broad audience. "We are so excited to perform our fall show," says Heather Kinlaw, band president. "We've practiced really hard to produce a concert with a wide range of music from classics like Duke Ellington to modern hits like The Nightmare Before Christmas."
Musicians range from area students to local professionals on flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, saxophone, French horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba and percussion similar to an orchestra, only without the string instruments.
Formed in 1992, the Gaston Symphonic Band is a nonprofit organization with the mission to bring free, high-quality concerts to the community. The group also provides area students with a platform where they can grow their musical talents.
"We welcome every student and adult who want to play," Kinlaw says. "Truly, we're more of a close-knit family filled with a shared passion for music."
