The band, comprised of the most advanced woodwind, brass, and percussion players at West Georgia, will take the stage around 7:15 p.m. at Town Center Park.

Before the band's performance, the Aero X aerial demonstration team, made up of active duty and veteran military personnel as well as civilian personnel, will "drop in" via parachute at Town Center Park at approximately 7 p.m., weather permitting. The Silver Wings out of Fort Benning, who usually perform at this event, cannot appear due to federal sequestration budget cuts.
