The concert will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14, in Leach Theatre of Castleman Hall, 10th and Main streets in Rolla. David Cress, lecturer in arts, languages and philosophy, will conduct the band.

Matt Tantillo, a senior in mechanical engineering from Leawood, Kansas, will be a featured trombonist for the piece.
The concert will also feature vocal performances by Missouri S&T students Ian Ramsey, a senior in physics from Rolla, Elyse Carter, a senior in architectural engineering from St. Louis, Daniel Sloan, a sophomore in biological sciences from Rolla, and Rebecca Hanauer, a senior in civil engineering from Springfield, Illinois.
