The Volunteers to perform at BSA

The Vol­un­teers — The United States Army Field Band’s rock, pop and coun­try group — will per­form at the Belle­vue Soci­ety for the Arts at 7 p.m. Thurs­day, July 5.

Tick­ets are required to attend the 90-minute con­cert at the the­ater, located at 205 Maple St.

Tick­ets, how­ever, are free by mail­ing a self-addressed, stamped envelop and coupon from inside today’s news­pa­per to PO Box 309, Belle­vue, 44811.

The event is being co-sponsored by The Belle­vue Soci­ety for the Arts and The Belle­vue Gazette.

Seat­ing capac­ity allows for 342 peo­ple to attend the concert.

There will be gen­eral seat­ing the evening of the concert.

This is the same band which per­formed at the Clyde High School Audi­to­rium in July 20111– spon­sored by the Gazette’s sis­ter news­pa­per, The Clyde Enterprise.

Gazette man­ag­ing edi­tor Becky Brooks said the group con­tacted her about return­ing to Clyde again this sum­mer as she had coor­di­nated the con­certs for The Clyde Enter­prise in pre­vi­ous years.

“The CHS audi­to­rium was not avail­able so I called mem­bers of the BSA to ask if they would co-sponsor this out­stand­ing band. The BSA agreed and I called The Vol­un­teers’ rep­re­sen­ta­tive and asked if they would come to Bellevue.

“The mil­i­tary group was happy to come to another small com­mu­nity. Since then, their front team has vis­ited Belle­vue and checked out the BSA the­ater,” she reported.

“This group is as good as any live band you’ve heard, and it is a free event, if you get your tick­ets early. The Gazette is very happy to bring The Vol­un­teers to the com­mu­nity, and we hope we pack the the­ater,” Brooks added.

The Vol­un­teers is a six-piece band that has per­formed for mil­lions of lis­ten­ers through­out Amer­ica and over­seas. The group per­forms annu­ally at Disney’s Epcot Cen­ter for its Memo­r­ial Day celebration.

Free tick­ets — lim­ited to four per coupon — will be dis­trib­uted by mail as requests are received.
