Fall POPS Concert Set for November 1 – The University Friends of Music and the Department of Music proudly announce the 36th annual POPS Dinner Concert on Saturday, Nov. 1, at 7:30 p.m. in the Campus Union Ballroom. A performance of the University Wind Symphony and a superb dinner will welcome the fall season in a very special way.

The "POPS" concert at Eastern is modeled on the popular Boston "POPS" concerts, which made famous the formula of mixing traditional, classic musical compositions with more popular musical selections. This year, the University Wind Symphony, 45 talented music students, will perform a diverse selection of pieces, including a selection of songs from World War II, some traditional patriotic favorites, a lively selection of movie hits, including the musical theme from Star Wars, and a fun collection of themes from popular television "sitcoms." In addition, the Wind Symphony will also perform some classical pieces that showcase their musical talent.

Tickets are $25 each and are sold by mail only. Mail ticket orders by Oct. 28 to POPS Dinner Concert, P.O. Box 195, Clovis, NM 88101, with
checks payable to University Friends of Music. Special seating preferences will be extended to members of the Friends of Music. This event supports scholarships for talented music students.
