The program begins with American Salute followed by the Battle Hymn of the Republic and Armed Forces Salute. Guest conductor Guy C.

After intermission, ONNY goes to the movies with selections from Star Wars, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Fellowship of the Ring, Titanic, Frozen, and Jurassic Park.

Tchaikovsky's rousing 1812 Overture concludes the concert.

During intermission, drawings will be held for the four prizes in the 2014-2015 Season Raffle.
