The performance highlights music performed by the Kiltie Marching Band during its fall outdoor halftime shows, including selections from Toto’s “Falling in Between” album and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" compositions by John Williams. The band members will dress like characters from the Indiana Jones movies during this part of the concert.

“The indoor show always has lots of movement and special visual effects,” says faculty director David Zerbe. “We use platforms, risers and theatrical lighting in utilizing the entire space within Presbyterian Hall.”

The 103-member marching band, chartered in 1922, is celebrating its 87th season at Alma College.
