Pomona Concert Band

I like the Pomona Concert Band and always try to give them a plug. Their annual spring concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Palomares Community Center, 499 E. Arrow Highway.

If memory serves, that's between Palomares Adobe and the Lawn Bowling court, two of Pomona's more unusual attractions.

The concert's theme is "From Sea to Shining Sea." "We will feature music from across various seas and bodies of water, as well as across America," conductor Linda Taylor tells me in an e-mail. "Councilman Stephen Atchley will be the emcee and will do some of his magic tricks for the audience, as well."

Music and magic? Yowsah.

Stay tuned for the July 3 start of the Concert Band's summer concert series at Ganesha Park.
