  • America's Hometown Band "Parade of Stars" concert 4:30pm to 12:42pm @ Emens Auditorium Ball State University 1800 W. Riverside Ave.

    Muncie’s very own AMERICA’S HOMETOWN BAND, “the Civic Band of Muncie”, revs up Emens Auditorium with a FREE  “Parade of Stars” concert, in conjunction with Emens 50th anniversary celebration. This concert puts the spotlight on five standout solo performers and the artwork of Ball State Professor Emeritus Ned Griner.

    The standout solo performers are:

    Ball State alumni and retired local physician Phil Cooley, performs Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16. The band accompaniment for this piece is arranged by award winning Ball State composer Jody Nagel.

    Ball State alumni, outstanding music educator, and xylophone soloist David Robbins performs Floyd Werle’s ragtime piece, The Golden Age of the Xylophone.

    Ball State Saxophone Professor Dr. George Wolfe plays Sammy Nestico’s beautiful ballad, Persuasion.

    Local trumpeters Joel Replogle and Mike White are featured in an arrangement by Donald Hunsberger,“Themes from Bizet’s opera Carmen”. Replogle is one of Muncie’s best-kept secrets: a world-class soloist who spends most of his time being a husband, father and computer geek. Mike White is known as one of Indiana’s best lead trumpeters.

    Music director of America's Hometown Band is Roger McConnell.
