(Brookville, IN) – The Franklin County Arts Council presents a free concert by the United States Coast Guard Band on Wednesday, June 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the Lew Wallace Auditorium at Franklin County High School.
This event is part of the “Heartland Harmonies” concert tour through the American South Central and Midwest regions performing for the public and providing educational outreach.
Under the Direction of Commander Adam R. Williamson, the 55-member ensemble performs wind band hits, virtuosic solo features, rousing marches, new music by American composers, and patriotic classics.
