Lee County Community brings the curtains up for veterans, and its season, with Band Director Gil Peltola, leading the over 60-member band as Stars, Stripes & Spotlights celebrates America’s soundtrack-from Broadway showstoppers to timeless marches, from Copland’s quiet lanes to stadium fanfare.
On Veterans Day weekend, Nov. 9, at 3 p.m., the band invites and honors service members with Armed Forces Salute and unite the hall in a patriotic sing-along. Featuring trombone fireworks in Tailgate Concerto and classics like National Emblem, this family-friendly concert shines a spotlight on the music that has lifted stages, parades, and communities across the nation.
Concerts will be performed in the auditorium at Mariner High School, 701 Chiquita Blvd., Cape Coral. There is ample parking off of Tropicana Parkway, W. All concerts are free and open to the public. All concerts begin at 3 p.m. Concert dates are Nov, 9; Dec. 7; Jan. 11; Feb. 15; March 15; and April 12.
