The West Point Band “America 250 Concert”

Enjoy a concert given by the West Point Band at the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple on August 20 at 7:30 PM. The concert is free
and open to the public, and is part of the ensemble’s celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America.

 

The West Point Band is proud to present this special series of concerts in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, bringing inspiring music to audiences throughout the northeast and beyond. These performances honor the rich musical heritage of America and music’s connection to the American story. The concert features patriotic classics such as “America the Beautiful” and “God Bless America,” alongside Broadway favorites and beloved singalongs like “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” The West Point Band will trace the musical history of America, from the vital role of music in the American Revolution, through the sounds of Tin Pan Alley and early 20th-century popular music, to the folk, bluegrass, and country traditions rooted in Appalachia. And of course, no concert is complete without a rousing Sousa march or two.

 

Established in 1817, the West Point Band is the Army’s oldest musical organization and continues to build, educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets through world-class music and to serve as ambassadors of the United States Military Academy and the Army to local, national, and international communities.
