Full Strength set to play Hoyt Park

Full Strength, a band specializing in funk and current hits, will perform live in concert at Hoyt Park as part of the free summer concert series produced by Scripps Ranch Symphony in the Park.

Full Strength describes itself as a high-energy dance band whose unique format ensures that the party never stops. According to its website, the band transitions seamlessly between hits featuring everything from classic ’70s funk like Stevie Wonder and Parliament; old school hip hop like Salt-N-Pepa and Tone Loc; Latin hits from Marc Anthony and Ricky Martin; beloved horn-driven bands like Earth Wind & Fire and Tower of Power; and today’s biggest stars like Bruno Mars, Dua Lipa and Dojo Cat.

Full Strength features a full horn section, multiple vocalists and a rhythm section. The band combines the best elements of a high energy Las Vegas nightclub with a classic Motown show.

The band’s motto: “We lay down the groove that’ll make you move!”

Full Strength will perform in Hoyt Park from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 8.

This concert will be sponsored by San Diego Castles Realty.

In addition, there will be face-painting for the youngsters, courtesy of The Barron Real Estate Group.

Those attending may bring picnic baskets, cloth blankets and low-back chairs so everyone can see the band. No pets are allowed, and no plastic tarps are allowed since they kill the park’s grass.

While the 2024 summer concert series will conclude with the Full Strength concert, there is still one concert remaining this year. Scripps Ranch Symphony in the Park will present its annual Holiday Concert with Santa & Friends on Dec. 8, 5 to 6:30 p.m. in Hoyt Park. The holiday concert will be sponsored by Greg Wisniew – Financial Advisor.
