Armed Forces Day Concert

May 17 @ 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Free

SALT LAKE CITY – Music Director Sterling Poulson and the Choral Arts Society of Utah invite you to a FREE concert dedicated to honoring our men and women in the Armed Forces, both past and present. Bring your family and enjoy plenty of food, fun, support service booths and great entertainment. The evening entertainment begins at 4:30 p.m. with the 23rd Army rock combo Article 15. The band, choir and Company B take the stage at 5:30 performing patriotic favorites which conclude with a rousing rendition of John Philip Sousa’s Stars & Stripes Forever. The Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs will honor outstanding service members and employees from military units across Utah. 

Company B is a close harmony vocal trio that uplifts audiences with golden era American classics reminiscent of the Andrews Sisters. With sets packed with classic boogie-woogie hits, swing and jazz standards, and their take on more contemporary songs, Company B keeps guests anxious to hear what is next. They pack dance floors with the nostalgic and familiar and keep them on their toes by surprising them with something fun and new. They take care to provide sets full of upbeat numbers curated to keep audiences engaged and dancing.

The Utah National Guard 23rd Army Band has played for Presidents, Senators, Congressmen, and Heads of State.  It gives clinics and concerts for schools, plays at civic functions, marches in parades, and provides music for military balls, changes of command, and pass-in-reviews. The rock combo Article 15 will make you smile no matter what generation you hail from.

Now in its 39th year, members of the Choral Arts Society of Utah volunteer their time and talents to further the choral art in Utah, as well as benefit organizations offering humanitarian services to the local area.  For more information on upcoming events, please visit our website at www.casu.org, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.    

Special thanks to our sponsors who make this event possible: The Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs, The Joseph and Kathleen Sorenson Legacy Foundation, The Larry H. and Gail Miller Family Foundation, Salt Lake County Zoo, Arts and Parks, The Gallivan Center, and KUTV 2News.
