The Greater Des Moines Community Band is playing in a Flag Day program Sunday evening at Giovanetti Community Shelter, Walker Johnston Park, 9000 Douglas Ave., Urbandale.
The park is just west of the 86th Street Hy-Vee store. Enter the park from the Douglas Avenue entrance at 92nd Street and follow the signs back to the shelter area.
The band will line up in front of the fireplace inside the building. By row, the order is five clarinets and three flutes, first row; one tenor sax, two bass clarinets and five trumpets, second row; two alto saxes, five French horns, third row; three euphoniums and four trombones, fourth row; and two tubas and four percussion, back.
Band members should report at 5 p.m. and practice the National Anthem with the singer at 5:20 p.m. The concert will begin at 5:40 p.m.
The band will have to play on the softer side because the room has polished concrete floors and a low industrial ceiling with exposed heating and cooling.
The audience will be located on the band's right. They will go through the serving line as well as go to tables while the band plays.
Band members will be fed after the performance. Band members should put their instruments away immediately after the "Star Spangled Banner" and use their chairs to sit around tables supplied by the hosts.
Sunday's playlist is as follows:
"Midway March"
"America the Beautiful"
"Semper Fi"
"You're a Grand Old Flag"
"God Bless America"
"Stars and Stripes"
"Star Spangled Banner"
A short history of the "Star Spangled Banner" will be presented between "Stars and Stripes" and the "Star Spangled Banner."
The event also will include short speeches, an auction and the playing of "Taps."
