Army Field Band To Perform Soundtrack Of The American Soldier In Yountville

The U.S. Army Field Band and Soldiers' Chorus will stop in Yountville during its fall concert tour on Oct. 26 at the Lincoln Theater. The performance begins at 7 p.m. and tickets are free to the public.

The Army Field Band will perform the "Soundtrack to the American Soldier," a tribute to the stories of our military as told by Hollywood. Audience members will enjoy exciting movie music from some of the greatest films of our generation, from "Saving Private Ryan" to "The Great Escape." When filmmakers highlight the service of our soldiers, they bring real-life heroes into the heart of our popular culture and share their sacrifice with all Americans.

"The Army remains committed to our soldiers, our veterans and our country and it is the people of the United States who we all serve," said Col. Jim Keene. "It's a privilege to be in Yountville connecting America to its Army. Using the power of music, our soldiers pay tribute to all service members who have liberated the world and who have preserved America's freedoms and our Constitution."

The U.S. Army Field Band tours nationally and internationally as directed by the Department of the Army, and serves as the liaison between the Army and the American people. The Army Field Band consists of four performing components and a far-reaching educational program. Each concert tour is sponsored by a local organization with the mission of supporting local community events such as centennial celebrations, festivals, and city and state commemorations.
