In observance of the total solar eclipse on April 8, the McKinney Community Band is “celebrating” the celestial event on eclipse weekend with a concert filled with music harkening to all things space. On the program are familiar pieces from classic movies, “E.T. The Extraterrestrial” and the Star Wars epic film franchise as well as three movements from Holst’s “The Planets” Suite and more.
As always, McKinney Community Band concerts are free and do not require a ticket or reservation to attend. This concert is made possible in part by a grant from the McKinney Arts Commission and support of donors.
(Note: The band invites you to come in costume if you are a Star Wars or E.T. fan! And make sure to stop in the lobby to take photos with our Star Wars cosplayer friends from the Star Garrison.)
