Citrus Heights Marching Band to host dinner event March 21

Offering a night of spaghetti, music and raffle drawings, the Citrus Heights Community Marching Band will be hosting its annual Spaghetti Dinner on March 21 at the Community Center this year.

Citrus Heights Community Marching Band members perform during the 2014 Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony at the Community Center.

Entertainment is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. with a performance from the Golden State Accordion Club, followed by the marching band and raffle drawings at 6:30 p.m., according to an event flier.

Access to the three-hour evening and spaghetti meal is available for a ticket price of $7 for children and $10 for adults, with early ordering recommended, as the event is “always a sell-out.”

The all-volunteer marching band is known for its performances at community events around the region, annually playing at the Citrus Heights Tree Lighting ceremony and organizing a flash-mob at Wal-Mart each December. Organizers say anyone age 12 and up is welcome to join the group, as long as they can read music.

The Spaghetti Dinner is sponsored by Hearts for Parks, Sunrise Recreation Park District and the City of Citrus Heights. Those interested in more information or donations are invited to contact Kathy Cook at (916) 725-0198 or via email at abusycook@aol.com.

[Update: as of March 7, organizers said the dinner had sold out. Tickets are no longer available for purchase.]
