On Nov 11th, 2022, the 39th Army Band with the gracious support of the Capitol Center for the Arts, the William H. Gile Trust, and several High Schools from around the State of NH, put on its first combined concert in honor of Veterans Day. The performance showcased multiple ensembles, and over 50 musicians on stage, including high school students, local professional musicians, and our Army musicians.
The evening performance, which drew more than 1,200 people, signified the start of a new partnership between the New Hampshire Army National Guard band, band directors from local High Schools, and the state’s largest and most diverse entertainment venue. The show was presented as part of the William H. Giles Trust Concert Series.
The event was a great success. The night’s final song, “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” earned a standing ovation and endless applause.
Here are a few testimonies from our performers:
“I love performing with younger musicians and getting the opportunity to mentor junior music students. I hope we get the privilege to do this every year and build a lifelong connection with the schools.” SGT Lily Rousseau, 39th Army Band, Jazz Band Bassist.
“I was very delighted when I was invited to perform tonight. It gives us a great opportunity to honor the veterans. It’s really invaluable and priceless to any student in my book” Dan Lorenz, guitarist, and educator at Timberlane Regional School District.
“I’m proud of the soldiers for their professionalism and their teamwork to put together the show in three months and two, long drill weekends on top of our other performance commitments,” “It’s their belief in the cause that made this possible.” CW2 Montenegro
