The DePauw University Band, conducted by Craig Paré, commemorates the 75th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor on Sunday with Richard Rodgers' stirring soundtrack to the early television series "Victory at Sea" that documented the battle of the Pacific during World War II. The ensemble will also celebrate Indiana's 200th birthday and pay tribute to Indiana native, composer Fred Jewell with his rousing circus march "The Screamer." Senior clarinetist Gretchen Stibich will be featured in Frank Ticheli's "Blue Shades." Other works on the program include the Suite in D by Arthur Bird, Morton Gould's "Ballad for Band," "After a Gentle Rain" by Anthony Iannaccone, and the Polka and Fugue from "Schwanda the Bagpiper" by Jaromir Weinberger.
