There will be a special recognition of our veterans as the chorus presents "A Tribute to the Armed Services.” Those men and women who have faithfully served our country in the military are encouraged to attend and be recognized for their service. Legendary bugler Jari Villanueva, the country’s foremost expert on military bugle calls, will be present to play taps.
