By Kim Thompson on January 29, 2013

Patriots Landing, a retirement community dedicated to serving former military personnel in Dupont, is pleased to announce that the U.S. Navy Band of Washington D.C. is coming to the local area in February. The band is currently in the midst of their popular and exquisite national tour and will be stopping in the South Puget Sound to give a free performance for the public. The concert will be held Tuesday, February 12th at 7 p.m. at Rogers High School in Puyallup. Patriot's Landing is one of the sponsors of the event.

The U.S. Navy Band of Washington D.C.is a national premier musical ensemble. The band's patriotic concerts are a great blend of traditional and contemporary music to showcase the band's diversity and talent. For the concert in February, the band has confirmed it will do a variety of different genres and of course, the Armed Forces Salute.

Not only have band participants given service to their country, the musicians and singers are well versed in music. Many of the soloists and band members are award winning and well educated musicians, some of whom have graced the stage to share their talent all over the nation and the world.

What makes the event even more special is the band's commitment to providing complimentary performances, so that everyone can partake in the magic of the music. In addition to their national tour schedule, the band is committed to educational outreach in which they partner with area schools to expose children to the wonderful world of music and all that it has to offer.

Lucky for us, the band was able to make a performance here possible thanks to the generosity of Rogers High School and the band's local sponsors, like Patriots Landing.

Originally, the U.S. Navy Band was hoping to play the historic Pantages Theater in Tacoma. However, since the band is always provides complimentary shows, there would have been a large cost to host the concert for free while accommodating the number of attendees.

Rogers High School offered to host the concert for free and could accommodate a large number of patrons.

Here are the additional concert details.
