PORT ANGELES — The Volunteers — the Army’s premier touring show band — will perform a free concert on Monday.
The six-member ensemble will on stage from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. in the Port Angeles High School auditorium, 304 E. Park Ave., with a fast-paced, high-energy blend of popular American music — rock ‘n’ roll, standards, country, jazz and patriotic selections.
The performance is sponsored by the Peninsula Daily News.
The concert is free, but all concert-goers must have a ticket.
Doors open for Monday’s concert at 6 p.m., and ticket holders need to be in their seats by 6:45 p.m.
Unclaimed seats will be released to non-ticket holders at 6:50 p.m.
John Brewer, PDN publisher and editor, said the newspaper has sponsored a military band concert every other year for the past 12 years.
Brewer said the PDN sponsors these free concerts for the enjoyment of the community and to show support for the military and their families.
The Volunteers is one of four performing components of the Army Field Band and is based in Washington, D.C.
The band has appeared in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Japan, India and throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
“This will be a concert you won’t forget,” said Brewer. “It’ll be an entertaining night for all ages to enjoy.”
