Musicians representing five local community bands embark on an interstate tour with patriotic concerts at the Flight 93 National Memorial and Gettysburg National Military Park.
The Westmoreland County Community Band includes over 50 musicians from the Delmont Concert Band, Janet Community Band, Kiski Valley Community Band, Penn Trafford Community Band and Scottdale Concert Band.
The musicians will perform at the Flight 93 Memorial Plaza on Saturday, August 27 at 10:00 am and at the Gettysburg Battlefield Visitor Center at 4:00 pm on the same day. Another show is scheduled for Sunday, August 28 at 3:00 PM at Gettysburg Town Square.
This is the band’s second tour for the group. In 2019, he celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy with three of his concerts in Washington, D.C., honoring veterans.
Since 2016, the band has performed together at other concerts in the area, including concerts at Greensburg’s historic Palace Theater and Seton Hill University’s Performing Arts Center.
