The Hill Country Community Band performed their final concert of 2021 last month, but thankfully, it will not be their last. With two concerts under his baton with the HCCB as their new director, Dr. Manuel Arambula had previously said that he wanted to take the band to a new level, and he has done just that. The November 20 concert was one of their better efforts in recent years. The program included several complicated compositions, which showed off how the HCCB has risen to the next level of performance excellence. The concert’s theme was “Earth and Beyond” and featured several popular songs including “Symphon-ic Suite from Star Trek”, “Come Fly with Me”, and Moon River”. John Philip Sousa was featured, as well, given that Arambula is a self-professed fan of that prolific composer. Referring to the November pro- gram, Arambula said, “The music was indeed challenggram, ing, but the musicians are so receptive to the challenges and eager to perform high quality band music.”
