Bob Jones University's Division of Music and Department of Bands will be hosting the 17th Annual S.C. Collegiate Honor Band on Jan. 22-24. The Honor Band consists of a collection of 100 wind and percussion instrumentalist from 18 colleges and universities across the state.

Several Bob Jones University students were chosen to perform in the 17th Annual S.C. Collegiate Honor Band.

Anna Hawkey, a resident of Taylors, will be playing the flute during the performance.

"This is a great opportunity for the state's college musicians to come together, rehearse with a master conductor, and present a great concert," said Dr. Dan Turner, Director of Bands at BJU, host of the event.

Dr. John Locke, Distinguished Professor of Music and Director of Bands at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro (UNC-G), will conduct the student musicians in a program of symphonic band classics, both new and old. The one-hour program includes the classic Norwegian march, Valdres, "Jupiter" from The Planets by Gustav Holst, and The Frozen Cathedral, a new work commissioned by John Locke and the UNC-G Wind Esemble by American composer John Mackey.

The band will perform Sat., Jan. 24 at 2 p.m. in Rodeheaver Auditorium on the BJU campus. The concert is free and open to the public.
