Displaying IMG_7376.jpeg

Join the Central Florida Sounds of Freedom Band & Guard as we celebrate our 15th anniversary with RESILIENCE, the culminating performance of our 2025–2026 concert series, Still We Rise.

This milestone program completes a season-long journey through themes of hope, struggle, and ultimately resilience—highlighting the strength, unity, and perseverance of the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies.

The program features Stonewall by Randall Standridge, with guest performer Ashley Thunder, honoring the courage and legacy of a movement that continues to inspire. Viet Cuong’s John and Jim offers a poignant and deeply human reflection on love, identity, and connection.

The concert also includes Well With My Soul by Benjamin Mairs, a work commissioned specifically for CFSOF, capturing the spirit of healing, reflection, and renewal that defines both this performance and our organization’s 15-year journey.

RESILIENCE stands as a celebration of community, a tribute to perseverance, and a powerful conclusion to a season dedicated to rising—together.
