The Penn Symphonic Winds will perform the Transit of Venus March by John Phillip Sousa on March 8, 2012, at the Penn Fine Arts Festival Concert.  Director Glenn Northern announced the performance will be in the Penn Center for the Performing Arts, at Penn High School (map) in Mishawaka, IN, USA.  Sousa had a particular interest in the celestial phenomenon, writing both the Transit of Venus March and decades later a novel The Transit of Venus.  Penn High School students also performed Sousa's march in 2004 when the transit of Venus occurred previously in the 21st century.
