Stars Over Clarkston II Concert and Star Party 5-19-07
STARS AND MUSIC FILLS THE AIR WITH THE CLARKSTON COMMUNITY BAND AND
WARREN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY CONCERT AND STAR PARTY The Clarkston Community Band (CCB) joined by members from the Greater Windsor Concert Band, Warren Astronomical Society (WAS), and Independence Township Parks and Recreation present "Stars Over Clarkston II". This FREE event will take place on Saturday, May 19, 2007, at 7:00 pm in Clintonwood Park, 6000 Clarkston Road, Clarkston, MI 48348. The evening starts off with a dazzling musical concert featuring space music from the movies including "Star Wars", "Lost in Space" and "Star Trek". Treasures from the band's extensive music library will bring you the big band sound with "Star Dust" and "Fly Me to the Moon." Recently the Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected the deepest musical note ever sounded in the universe - B flat, 57 octaves below middle C - emitted by a black hole. Join the CCB tuba and low brass sections as they attempt to repeat this historic event. After the concert the WAS will have short astronomy presentations with a Q&A period including how to use your telescope! WAS members will bring their telescopes and Southern Michigan's largest portable 22" Dobsonian telescope for you to view through. So pack up a picnic dinner, blankets/lawn chairs, your telescope (optional) and shoot on over for the greatest musical star party ever! Now in its 11th season, the Clarkston Community Band is one of the areas fastest growing and most respected wind bands. Its 52 volunteer musicians dedicate their time and talents to performing free concerts for the greater Clarkston area and presenting various educational and family entertaining themed concerts. The band was selected to perform internationally in 2007 for the "Spectacle of Winds" with the Greater Windsor Concert Band. CCB programs are made possible in part by Independence Township Parks and Recreation and the Clarkston Community Schools.
