Greetings and welcome to the start of our 2017-2018 concert season! The Band’s first concert, Passport to Europe: A Musical Tour will be held on September 10, 2017 at 3:00 PM at the Merritt Island High School Auditorium. Please join us as we take you on a wonderful musical tour to some of the most beautiful countries and locations found in all of Europe.

Where else can you take a 90 minute tour of Europe without leaving your auditorium seat?
