ALTON - The Alton Municipal Band continues its 135th consecutive season of concerts in the parks with “Blast Off,” featuring the music of faraway planets and distant stars.
Selections pay tribute to the Apollo program, and paint pictures of distant galaxies and bright stars. Directed this week by Bradley Eston, the band will also feature selections from the Star Wars franchise.
