STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Fall performances for Tarleton State University’s Wind Ensemble begin the first week of October with Dr. David Robinson making his conducting debut in his new role as director of bands.<\/p>\n

Set Tuesday, Oct. 2, the first concert — “Centennials” — kicks off the 100-year celebration of Tarleton bands on the concert stage. The first university ensemble performed on the Stephenville campus in 1919.<\/p>\n

The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center Auditorium. Tickets are $5 for adults and free for students with a valid ID. Proceeds from the concert will benefit hurricane relief efforts by the American Red Cross.<\/p>\n

The ensemble also will present Famishius Fantasticus <\/em>by Michael Markowski, a comical piece paying homage to Saturday morning cartoons written in honor of Chuck Jones’s 100th birthday in 2012.<\/p>\n
