FREE COMMUNITY EVENT at The Dixie

The Dixie Carter Performing Arts & Academic Enrichment Center is proud to announce the recent addition of a FREE COMMUNITY EVENT this summer. Join us on Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. for the 129th Army Band of the Tennessee Army National Guard. The 129th Army Band has a long and distinguished history serving Tennessee and the United States in peacetime as well as during armed conflict. The group traces its lineage back to the earliest units of the Tennessee Militia that protected the early colonial settlements and routed the British at the Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780. The band was been called to active duty during Operation Desert Storm. They have performed for presidents, world fairs, and overseas in countries including Colombia and Turkey. The 129th Army Band has been the official band for the Tennessee inaugural since Governor Gordon Browning and represented Tennessee in the 1992 Presidential Inaugural Parade in Washington, DC. The 129th Army Band is headquartered at Houston Barracks in Nashville, Tennessee, and is led by Chief Warrant Officer Billy Stepp Commander and First Sergeant Richard Griffin. This performance is a perfect opportunity for you and your family to celebrate Independence Day at The Dixie! No tickets are required for this general seating performance. This and all our events are sponsored in part by a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission.
