This week on High Plains Morning, I was joined by two of the esteemed board members from the historic Garden City Municipal Band. They shared details about the celebratory concert scheduled for Friday night at the Stevens Park Bandshell to toast 145 seasons of live music for this community arts collective. Plus, they'll feature the world premiere of "Hell’s Aquarium,” an original composition by Makenzi Johnson that was inspired by an article by David Condos, formerly of the Kansas News Service & HPPR!

It'll feature the WORLD PREMIERE of Makenzi Johnson's original composition "Hell's Aquarium," inspired by the news story about the prehistoric underwater beasts of Southwest Kansas — and that was an article penned by HPPR's former Kansas News Service reporter, David Condos!
