Get into the spirit of spring with the sound of big band music. Surprise Pops will visit the Palm Ridge Rec Center at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 10.
This free concert is open to Sun City West residents, but you still need a ticket. Tickets will be available starting at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25, online and at the R.H. Johnson Box Office. Two tickets per rec card.
While this is a free concert, Surprise Pops does ask for audience members to bring a nonperishable food donation for a food bank.
Thirty-five years ago, a handful of musicians gathered in Clancy Wolf’s garage to make band music. It was recreation, fun and fellowship. Today the band has grown to about 100 members and plays free concerts to thousands of West Valley audiences every season. The band still keeps the tradition of not charging for a concert. However, they do ask the audience to bring a nonperishable food donation to the concert for the food bank.
The Surprise Pops will honor Veterans with a patriotic concert featuring an array of American Military and marching music.
