The Coastal Carolina University Band Program will showcase a variety of music at the Seventh Annual Spectrum Concert at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 7, at Wheelwright Auditorium.

James L. Tully, professor of music and director of bands, leads student music groups for an hour of uninterrupted music. The event features everything from guitars to drums, and styles from classical to jazz to show tunes. The grand finale spotlights the CCU Symphonic Band as they perform "Danzas Cubanas" and one of John Philip Sousa's most popular marches.
