MUNY BAND WILL PERFORM TONIGHT AT BAND SHELL

The Jackson Municipal Band will hold a holiday concert tonight at 8 p.m., at the band shell in the city park. It will precede the 9:30 p.m. fireworks display.

Steve Schaffner, one of the area's premier country fiddlers and a string instructor for the Cape Girardeau Public Schools, will be featured. He has traveled with such stars as George Jones, Tammy Wynette and Ronnie Milsap.

The band will be playing many favorite songs, including Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever," "Liberty Bell march" and lesser-known Sousa tunes, as well as several patriotic numbers.
