The band is an elite 58-member instrumental ensemble. The group maintains a large and varied repertoire that includes traditional and contemporary band overtures, marches, solos, popular tunes and patriotic music. New Mythologies showcases painting by Mark Messersmith and sculpture by Linda Hall. Messersmith is an associate professor at Florida State University. His paintings are bold in their use of color and imagery.
Works make strong statements about the environment with realistically portrayed subject matter.
Hall, a published artist and adjunct art professor at Florida State University, presents sculptural works which seem playfully created to relate recognizable objects with a twist of imagination. The exhibit remains on display until March 9. Call 872-3809 for information. There will be children's activities including crafting and a moonwalk. Save The Manatee Club, a nonprofit organization founded by Jimmy Buffet and Sen. Bob Graham, will be on hand with information on protecting endangered species.
