Utah Tech University to host Navy’s 32nd Street Brass Band for free concert

In celebration of the U.S. Navy’s National Parks Week, the Navy’s 32nd Street Brass Band will perform a free concert at Utah Tech University’s O.C. Tanner Amphitheater in Springdale, located near the entrance to Zion National Park.

An ensemble within the Navy Band Southwest, the 32nd Street Brass Band is set to perform at 6 p.m. on April 20 at Utah Tech’s O.C. Tanner Amphitheater, located at 144 Lion Blvd. in Springdale.

“This concert is an opportunity to enjoy music and community out in a beautiful landscape,” Benjamin Tyrrel, director of arts programming at Utah Tech, said. “Concert goers will be able to enjoy fantastic music from the Navy’s 32nd Street Brass Band.”

The 32nd Street Brass Band draws on funk, R&B, pop, Latin and jazz influences, combining traditional and contemporary brass band styles with horns, vocals and rhythm players. Navy Band Southwest, based on Naval Base San Diego, is one of the Navy’s oldest continuing musical organizations.

The Navy’s National Parks Week, which runs April 19–26, brings sailors into communities across the country for performances, educational activities and service projects. The effort is a part of the Navy’s Road Trip to 250, a series of stops across the U.S. dedicated to the country’s 250th anniversary.
