Posted

The United States Coast Guard Band will present a free concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21, at the Tumwater High School Performing Arts Center, located at 700 Israel Rd SW.

This event is a part of the United States Coast Guard Band’s “Centennial Celebration” Concert Tour, under the direction of Captain Adam R. Williamson. Celebrating its 100th year in operation, the United States Coast Guard Band invites the public to join them in its one and only centennial tour.

The series of free concerts takes place from Feb. 13 to Feb. 24 throughout the Coast Guard’s Eleventh and Thirteenth districts. 

Established in 1925, the United States Coast Guard Band is the premier musical representative of the U.S. Coast Guard and the Department of Homeland Security. The band serves the American people through its mission of promoting public goodwill toward the U.S. Coast Guard, and preserving and honoring the heritage, traditions and history of the Coast Guard and the nation, according to a news release from the Coast Guard. 



“The 55-member ensemble is proud to celebrate its one hundred years of service,” the Coast Guard stated in a news release. “This centennial tour presents wind band favorites, solo features, marches, new music by American composers and patriotic classics.”
