SVSU student, Charles Bicigo, performs in Cardinal marching band's 40th annual concert

2015 Nov 20

Charles Bicigo, a music education major from Freeland, will perform in Saginaw Valley State University's Cardinal marching band during its 40th annual indoor concert, a send-off performance for its longtime director, Bill Wollner, associate professor of music.

Bicigo, a trombone section leader and member of the band council, is one of the students in the 112 student ensemble from various academic backgrounds performing in the concert on Monday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the Malcolm Field Theatre for Performing Arts.

The program lineup will consist of renditions from popular songs such as Fall Out Boy's "Centuries," Meghan Trainor's "Lips Are Movin," Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off," Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk," Jimi Hendrix's "Crosstown Traffic," Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" and Styx's "The Best Of Times."

The concert will be Wollner's last as marching band director. He is retiring in the spring after 34 years as band director.

The marching band performs at all home football games and other fall events on campus.

The concert is free and open to the public. For more information on the concert, visit SVSU's Department of Music online at www.svsu.edu/music.
