Dear Friends and Music Lovers,

The musicians of the Ontario Chaffey Community Show Band will present their first concert of the new year entitled "Disney Magic" on Monday, January 26, 2026 at 7:30 p.m.  The concert will be held in Gardiner W. Spring Auditorium, located on the campus of Chaffey High School at 1245 N. Euclid Ave. in Ontario.  The Woodwind Celebration Ensemble will present a pre-concert recital in the auditorium lobby at 7:00 p.m.  Complimentary coffee and cookies will be served in the lobby prior to the concert.  The performance is FREE to the public.

The concert will feature many Disney favorites performed by the talented musicians of the Show Band, including Show Band soloists Natasha Le, Jocelyn Washington, and Francisco Mowatt.  Songs will include the beautiful "Arabian Nights" from the Disney movie 'Aladdin,' "Beauty and the Beast" featuring alto saxophonist Francisco Mowatt, and a medley from "Pirates of the Caribbean."  Show Band percussionist and vocalist Natasha Le will sing the beautiful ballad "Colors of the Wind" from the movie 'Pocahontas,' and "Evermore" from 'Beauty and the Beast.'  Show Band clarinetist and vocalist Jocelyn Washington will sing "Part of Your World" from 'The Little Mermaid' and the beautiful "Let It Go" from 'Frozen.'  The Show Band will welcome back to our stage guest vocalist Emilio Pichardo from the Inland Valley Repertory Company.  Emilio will sing the delightful "Be Our Guest" also from 'Beauty and the Beast.'  You won't want to miss these and many more Disney favorites on Monday, January 26th.
