The internationally acclaimed United States Army Field Band and Soldiers’ Chorus of Washington, DC will continue its long tradition of presenting free public performances when it appears at Woodlands Church located at 1 Fellowship Dr on Tuesday, October 22 at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 6 p.m. This is a free event and tickets are not required.
The U.S. Army Field Band will present “America the Beautiful,” a celebration of all there is to love about our nation. Guests will take part in a musical and visual journey that honors the veterans of every generation who answered the call to defend this great land and recognize the Soldiers standing guard today in more than 140 countries around the world who are proud to call America "home."
The Concert Band & Soldiers’ Chorus are the oldest and largest of The U.S. Army Field Band’s performing components. Founded in 1946 and 1957 respectively, these two ensembles combine to present joint concerts on their national tours. They have performed in all 50 states and 30 foreign countries for audiences totaling hundreds of millions.
The 60-member Concert Band and 29-member Soldiers’ Chorus perform regularly in some of the most famous concert halls in the world, and just as often in the humblest auditoriums in the smallest of communities. The joining of these two ensembles allows them to offer unparalleled versatility of programming, ranging from orchestral masterworks and operatic arias to Sousa marches, jazz classics and Broadway musicals.
Pre-performance activities in the Main Auditorium Lobby will begin at 6pm and include a patriotic themed craft, giveaways, sponsor activations, and the Mini Pavilion Maestros booth for kids to collect their badge and sticker.
