The program will be in two parts and give thanks for our Veterans and our men and women serving in the United States Armed Forces.  The city will provide 150 chairs for our fans or you can bring your lawn chairs and/or blanket and make your own spot in the grass in front of the Bandshell.  Early concert goers are invited to come at 7:00 p.m. and enjoy complimentary cookies and Starbucks coffee. 

The concert will feature the outstanding musicians of the Ontario Chaffey Community Show Band and is divided into two parts; the first half opens with an inspirational performance of “This Is My Country” under the baton of Show Band Assistant Director David Schaafsma.  The Chaffey High School Naval Jr ROTC Color Guard will follow with the posting of the colors.  The concert will be hosted by Mayor Paul Leon and Gary Ovitt.  Each branch of the armed forces will be introduced with a medley of service songs honoring the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and the Air Force.  The featured vocal soloist will be Show Band Concertmaster Chris McAleer.  Also in attendance will be a military rifle team to perform a 21 gun salute honoring all veterans living and those who gave their lives in defense of our country.  The rifle salute is followed by “Taps” by Show Band trumpeter Mike Pfister.  The first half concludes with “The Navy Hymn.”
