Memorial Day programs make changes this year
In an effort to adapt their mission, The U.S. Army Field Band from Washington, D.C. is presenting daily live stream concerts in hopes of keeping America connected at a time where meeting in person is impossible. The virtual concert series: “We Stand Ready” is streaming on these two sites:

In regards to the upcoming Memorial Day weekend they have multiple shows planned that are geared toward honoring veterans!
Friday (5/22), Saturday (5/23) at 6pm (CT) and Sunday (5/24) and Monday (5/25) at 12pm (CT).
Their regular programming is a mix of musical, educational, and interactive segments, all while they continue to observe social distancing guidelines. They are broadcasting a mix of live chamber music concerts and pre-recorded shows from each of their performing components: the Concert Band and Soldiers’ Chorus, the Jazz Ambassadors, and the Six-String Soldiers. The content and production is facilitated completely by members of the U.S. Army Field Band.
Their hope is this daily online presence will provide a sense of unity, inspiration, and calm during these uncertain times, and remind all Americans of the strength and resilience of our country.
You can share directly from their social media channels. Also, their website, www.armyfieldband.com has a livestream schedule and links to their Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, Flickr, and Twitter pages.
