The St. Johnsbury Band will offer a free Veterans Day concert Saturday, November 11, 2023 at United Community Church with Guest Conductor Gov. Jim Douglas.

Gov. Douglas will conduct two historic pieces; 'The Enchantress' bearing the stamp of the battleship USS Vermont and 'Admiral Dewey March' written in 1898 to honor this Vermonter who was a hero of Battle of Manilla Bay during the Spanish American War. This is the first time the band has performed this piece, graciously shared by the Marine Band.

Kirsten Harter will conduct 'Satchmo!' and 'An American Spectactular;' a patriotic muisical history of the United States.

Gary Aubin will conduct several historic pieces from the library; 'Trimuph of Old Glory,' 'El Capitan,' 'Stars and Stripes Forever,' and 'The Star Spangled Banner.' With only one exception ('Ballad of the Green Berets') the music will all be the original versions as published, not arraqingements.
