The Gainesville Community Band Honors Our Nation’s Veterans, Friday, November 12, 7:30 pm at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on the UF campus.
The Gainesville Community Band performs this Veterans Day concert to honor all those who served honorably in the military, in wartime or peacetime.
This concert is named in honor of Captain James B. King, late member of the Gainesville Community Band. Captain King served as principal clarinet and assistant conductor of the United States Marine Band, “The President’s Own,” under the administrations of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson. After retiring in 1980, he and his wife Joy joined the Gainesville Community Band. Captain King died in October 2006, and each year the band presents this concert in memory of a great musician who served his country and was an inspiration to all.
