Nick Jacques directs the Capital City Community Band on Nevada Day.
The Capital City Community Band will present its annual Nevada Day concert at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26 in the Capital Amphitheater.
The concert will feature a variety of music, from marches to seasonal music and patriotic songs. A special feature will be “Home Means Nevada” by Marine band arranger Sgt. Scott Ninmer. The arrangement features Jen Simkins, voice, and Todd DeVito on euphonium.
The free concert will also include the band’s traditional musical salute to each branch of armed forces. A new service song has been added to honor the U.S. Space Force. Parents are encouraged to bring their children and lawn chairs or a blanket. A bonus concert will take place at 1:30 p.m. (weather permitting).
The band, founded in 1978 by Richard Doede, is under the direction of Nick Jacques and is comprised of community members from Carson City, Dayton, Reno, Sparks, and Gardnerville.
