Salute to America Concert

Salute to America Concert

Conductors include Robert Freeman from West Monroe High School, Marie Looney from Neville High School, Keith Adams from Claiborne Christian Academy, and Katie Conrad from LaSalle High School.

The TCCB is an award-winning ensemble comprised of music lovers from across Northeast Louisiana including doctors, teachers, lawyers, nurses, retired citizens, and a variety of other professionals from the area. The TCCB was forced into dormancy during most of the Covid pandemic but hopes this concert will signal that the band is back together. Several ULM undergraduate and graduate music majors also perform with the band as a way of keeping their performance skills honed during the summer break.

A wide variety of music is planned for this performance including a Salute to the Armed Forces, John Philip Sousa’s famous Stars and Stripes Forever, America the Beautiful, and a special setting of the 2nd and 4th verses of the Star Spangled Banner composed by Monroe native Julie Giroux as part of her Fort McHenry Suite. There will also be a special performance of Brian Balmage’s Kyiv 2022, composed in tribute to the people of Ukraine.
