"It is the most popular concert simply because of the style of music performed, which includes all pop or movie music," Traquair said.
Music from "Star Wars," "Grease" and "Lord of the Rings" are just some of the pieces to be heard during the performance.
"One of the most interesting pieces is the 'Day at the Zoo' played by the wind band," he added.
