Mr. Price is an instrumental music teacher in the Greenville City Schools, where he directs the school’s orchestras, as well as the high school jazz band. He is also the primary conductor of the Greenville Municipal Concert Band. He will be performing “Yakety Sax” and “What a Wonderful World” with the accompaniment of the concert band.

A variety of music rounds out the program. Musical selections scheduled to be performed include “Sketches from The Caucasus,” “Highlights from The Music Man,” “That’s A Plenty,” “Eighties Flashback,” Cole Porter’s “Night and Day,” and traditional marches such as “The Crosley March,” “The Victors,” and John Philip Sousa’s “U.S. Field Artillery.”

The Greenville Municipal Concert Band has been an important part of the musical life of the city of Greenville since the founding of the band in 1883. The Marling Band Shell and the Greenville City Park provide an unexcelled setting for a band concert for listeners and performers alike.
