”Dance With Me” offers an eclectic mix of musical styles inspired by dance rhythms. The program features classics such as James Reese Europe’s lively “Castle House Rag” and Rachmaninoff’s “Symphonic Dance No. 1,” alongside “Hip Knot,” an original composition by the band’s deputy commander, Capt. Philip Tappan. The performances will also showcase the talents of featured soloists: Staff Sgt. Francisco Aisporna will bring his vocal artistry to Michael Bublé’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” and “Sinatra in Love,” while Staff Sgt. Patrick Sikes will shine in Oscar Navarro’s “Concerto for Clarinet.”
