Culture Crawl 722 “Band Director Chops”

The Cedar Rapids Municipal Band begins its season this week, with concerts Wednesday at The History Center and Sunday at Bever Park.

Retired Independence band director David Lang, a world class euphonium player, will be the guest artist this week. He will also play a number on the Alpine Horn, the stretched-out instrument most of us only know from the famous Ricola commercials.

All concerts start at 7:30pm. Come at 6:30 on Sunday and also hear the Metro Youth Wind Ensemble.
