Southampton Community Band to Perform Scholarship Concert This Saturday

The Southampton Community Band will perform this Saturday, Jan. 21 at . 

"We have a dozen high school and middle school students who participate with us", said Band Director Marvin Feld. "This allows us to be a true community band with participants of a wide age span."

Severing as soloist on tuba is Alexander Costantino, who recently completed his doctoral studies at the University of North Texas.

Costantino was an active brass practitioner, private instructor and adjudicator in the Dallas and Ft. Worth area and was invited to participate in several international festivals including the International Brass Chamber Festival and the Rafael Mendez Brass Institute. He will perform one selection with the band as well as a solo piece.

Included in the band’s selections is a medley from "Grease" as well as symphonic dances from "Fiddler on the Roof".

Tickets are available at the door at a cost of $15.00 and for seniors and students the price is $10.00.

The concert begins at 8 PM in the school's auditorium. All proceeds from the program will go into the band’s scholarship fund.

"I think this scholarship program is unique," said Feld. "We are pleased to add to the education of our students with our established scholarship program."
