Come celebrate Veteran's Day with the Gainesville Community Band as we play songs in tribute to our Veterans and also to James King:James King was a native of Charleston, South Carolina and attended Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Jim enlisted in the Army where he performed on troop ships crossing the Atlantic during WW II. In 1946, Jim joined the Marine Band. He served as principal clarinet and assistant conductor until his retirement in 1968. Jim and his wife Joy were members of the GCB for twenty-six years. He died in October, 2006, and the Band presents this concert in memory of this great musician who served his country so well.
