Culture Crawl 733 “Programs Itself”
Steve Shanley says programming the CR Municipal Band concerts the week of July 4 is pretty easy, since there is a wealth of patriotic-themed music that are crowd favorites. For the first time in recent memory, the Cedar Rapids Concert Chorale joins the band for the national anthem and a standout arrangement of “America The Beautiful.” Other highlights include John Williams’ “Superman March” and a West Side Story medley. Steve has also buried a hint about a big surprise during the concert in the program.

Steve also sets the stage for the performance of the North Corridor All-Stars, a band featuring some of the top high school jazz players from Cedar Rapids and points north, performing July 2 at the Iowa City Jazz Festival.
CR Municipal Band concerts this week, Wednesday, June 29 at McGrath Amphitheatre and a special Monday concert for July 4 at Hiawatha’s Guthridge Park. All concerts at 7:30pm.
