Ontario/Chaffey Community Show Band to hold concert
The Ontario/Chaffey Community Show Band, directed by R. Jack Mercer, will have a special story to tell during Monday's show.
The program will look back on the history of the Show Back. The journey through the 26 years of the Show Band will be narrated by Superintendent Mathew Holton.
Slides will illustrate how the Show Band's deep roots can be traced back to the Chaffey High School 1958-1985 Marching Tiger Band.
Before to the concert, at 5:30 p.m, there will be a special gathering of alumni and the public. Old films of halftime shows performed in the Los Angeles Coliseum by the Tiger Band will be shown.
Following the films, at 7:30 p.m., the concert will begin with the Chaffey High School Jazz and Concert Bands, directed by Steve Yanik, and the Chaffey High School Choir, directed by John Lewis. A pep rally follows with former band members, drill team members, and band-aides.
Band members come from Ontario and more than twenty surrounding communities to make music together.
The Ontario/Chaffey Community Show Band was organized in 1985.
