The Cedar Rapids Municipal band has just two more weeks of concerts remaining in their 2018 season. The July 25th and 29th programs feature the bugler for the Kentucky Derby, Steve Buttleman, who is a CR Washington graduate. He’ll be teaming up with two student trumpeters for “Buglers Holiday.” Hannah Langley, from Oak Ridge Middle School will reprise an outstanding solo she performed with her band at the Iowa Bandmasters convention.
The Aug. 1st and 5th shows feature Jorge Mantilla, clarinet professor at the University of Iowa, who will also perform a quartet piece with members of the clarinet section. That program also will include a medley of music from “Hamilton,” which Steve saw a few weeks ago, and finally understands what all the hype is about!
