EVENT CANCELLED

We have an important update on this event. Due to forecasted thunderstorms, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Birthday Commemorative Concert is unfortunately canceled.

Though we know General Eisenhower would have persevered through the storm, it is not safe for the band and our audience to gather during lightning and rain. We apologize for any inconvenience.
