A reminder: this Sunday the Perry Fine Arts Committee invites the public to a free concert featuring a popular local ensemble.

The Greater Des Moines Community Band will take the stage at the Perry High School Performing Arts Center at 2 p.m. Fine Arts Committee member Cathy Clark says the group will play an assortment of tunes, ranging from marching band favorites to concert band classics. The ensemble is made up of more than 60 volunteer musicians, some of whom are from the Perry area.

There is no cost to attend this or any Fine Arts concert, though Clark says anyone who wants to give is encouraged to do so. “If you would like to give us a free-will donation, that’s the way we exist. So we do have a basket or a plate that we pass. And so it doesn’t cost you anything if you don’t want to give anything, but anything that is given is greatly appreciated!”

Clark adds, the Perry Fine Arts Committee is always looking for new members, and anyone interested can contact her for more information. Also, any instrumentalists interested in joining the Greater Des Moines Community Band can pick up information at the concert.
