Good friends in Lakewood Land:
My friend and fellow LHS graduate Paul Lawrence has provided the following information for all music lovers. Paul is the director for the Hillcrest Band:
The Hillcrest Concert Band will be presenting a SPRING CONCERT next Tuesday, May 14, 2019 at 7:30PM in the Regina Auditorium at Notre Dame College, 1857 South Green Road, South Euclid.
Lakewoodites will be interested in the first pair of marches: "American's We" and "NC-4". The trio (middle part) of "American's We" is the school song for Brush High School; the trio (middle part) of "NC-4" is the school song for Lakewood High School!
The NC-4 was originally the name of the American flying boat aircraft that first flew across the Atlantic Ocean shortly after WWI in 1919, exactly one hundred years ago this month. A band march was written to honor its flight by F.E.Bigelow that same year. The trio for that march was later selected as the melody for Lakewood's song.
Back to the banjo...
