“This has been an outstanding season” says David Zerbe, director of the KMB, “Our 2019 production show has been a real crowd pleaser and a great deal of fun to put together and perform.”
The performance will include the band’s halftime show, “Altered Carbon: The Human Element,” as well as “Legends of Middle Earth,” which features music from the “Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings” trilogies and was arranged by Dave Fair, percussion intern and assistant director.
“Altered Carbon: The Human Element” will feature music such as “Imagine” by John Lennon and “Killing in the Name” by Rage Against the Machine.
