The Fulton Music Association’s (FMA) 23rd Annual Celebration of Community Music will be presented at 7:00 p.m., Saturday, May 11, at the G. Ray Bodley High School (GRB) Auditorium, it was announced by Steve Chirello, FMA president.
The 2024 FMA senior music award winners and the very first Mary A. and Ernest A. Hamer Music Award will also be announced at this event and each recipient will perform.
The Hamer award is in honor and memory of Mary and Ernest Hamer and their love and support of music in Fulton. Their family established this scholarship for a graduating senior who plans to pursue a career in music.
Admission is free and the concert will feature the Fulton Community Band, under the direction of Carol Fox, and FMA music award winners will also be performing.
Among the selections planned by the community band are Salute to Bob Hope, Happy Birthday Around The World, Fugue On Yankee Doodle, What’s Up At The Symphony, and Latin Celebration.
All concert participants are generously donating their time for FMA, Chirello said. “In addition to helping high school students receive FMA awards this spring, FMA members will continue to help sponsor Fulton’s summer concert series at Bullhead Point and the downtown gazebo and bring special performances by the U.S Army’s 10th Mountain Div. Band right here to Fulton.”
