The Albert Lea High School band department will present its final concert of the year at 7 p.m. May 8 in the high school auditorium and will feature the Tiger band, symphonic band and concert band, according to a press release.

Tickets are available at the door, and are $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Children preschool-age and under are free. Family music passes are good for the event.

At the concert various awards will be presented, including the John Phillip Sousa Award for band and the Louis Armstrong Award for jazz. Graduating seniors will be recognized.

Each band was given the opportunity to help choose one of its songs for the concert.

The Tiger band, which is made up of eighth- and ninth-grade students, chose a medley of songs from “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.” It will also perform “Urban Dances.”

The ninth- and 10th-grade symphonic band chose “Hollywood Milestones,” an arrangement of songs from several hit movies from the past few decades. It will also perform “Three Czech Folk Songs.”

The concert band, made up of mostly juniors and seniors, chose a medley of songs from the movie “How to Train Your Dragon.” It will also perform its Big Nine Music Festival program, which includes “Yellow” by Robert W. Smith, “O Magnum Mysterium” by Morten Lauridsen and transcribed by H. Robert Reynolds, and “Fortress” by Frank Ticheli.

All three groups are led by ALHS Director of Bands Suzanne Mauer.
