Saxophonist Gunnery Sergeant David Jenkins (center) of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band will perform with the Shoreline Concert Band Tues., May 19.

The Shoreline Concert Band’s Spring Concert, “Proud to be American,” is this Tues., May 19 at 7:30 p.m. at Shorewood High School’s Performing Arts Center. The performance is free, but donations for the Music Scholarship Fund are accepted at the door.

The concert will feature guest soloist Saxophonist Gunnery Sergeant David Jenkins, member since 2004 of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band. Gunnery Sgt. Jenkins performs with the Marine Band at the White House, in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, and across the country during the band’s annual concert tour. His appearance at the Shoreline Concert Band’s concert is made possible by a grant from the Shoreline-LFP Arts Council.

The performance will also feature special guest groups including the University of Washington Campus Band, directed by graduate student Alison Farley, and the Kellogg Middle School Wind Ensemble directed by Alex Wilmart.

This concert will feature selections dear to the hearts of Americans – everything from a rousing playing of “Stars and Stripes Forever” to the “American Elegy,” reflective of the Columbine massacre. This is the final performance for the group of the academic year.

Our colleagues in the Theater Department have been working hard to bring this production to life, even going so far as to take over the college’s Instagram page and give us all sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes footage of rehearsals.

With music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and a book by John August, “Big Fish” is a production centering on the charismatic Edward Bloom – a traveling salesman who lives life to the fullest – and his bigger-than-life tales that delight everyone, except his only son, Will. About to have a child of his own, Will is determined to discover the real truth behind his father’s tall tales.

The Disability History Exhibit is a 22-panel collage that traces 3,000 years of seldom-told history. From antiquity to the present, the exhibit brings viewers through an illustrated timeline that shows society’s attitudes and how they affect the lives of people with disabilities. Viewers experience powerful feelings as they notice similarities between ancient practices and modern stereotypes. The exhibit is accessible at many levels, striking a balance between easily grasped information and a comprehensive history viewed from multiple angles. The website, with accessible content of the displays, can be found here.

This display was brought to campus by the Library and OSS, which houses Disability Services for Students (SSD). Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We are located in the FOSS Building room 5226, and can be reached via phone at 206-546-4545 or via email at oss@shoreline.edu. We hope you have an opportunity to go see this beautiful, touching and shocking display.
