Frank Tracz, a professor of music and director of bands at Kansas State University, returns to guest conduct the band. Tracz earned his bachelor’s degree and doctorate from The Ohio State University and his master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin.

Other selections on the program include Dmitri Shostakovich’s Festive Overture, Opus 96; James L. Swearingen’s “How Firm Thy Friendship;” Jack Stamp’s “Little Apple” celebration; John Philip Sousa’s “Kansas Wildcats” march; Pierre La Plante’s “The Thunder and the Roar” and a symphonic suite of music from the television and film series “Star Trek.”
