The Lake Country Symphonic Band in Mineola will open its 2017 concert season in grand style with an all-Sousa concert, titled Sousa Palooza on Sunday and Tuesday.

On the program will be crowd favorites such as “King Cotton,” “Semper Fidelis,” “The Gladiator,” and “Glory of the Yankee Navy.” Lesser known pieces include “Homeward Bound,” “Pet of the Petticoats,” “The Triton,” and “Imperial Edward.” Nineteen of Sousa’s compositions will be played from the stage of Select Theater in Mineola.

The Sunday, March 5 concert will begin at 2 p.m. and the Tuesday, March 7 performance will begin at 7:30 p.m.. The box office will open one hour and the doors 30 minutes prior to performances.
