The 375-voice choir will sing many of its noted numbers num-bers during the colorful event. And thirdly, will be the per. formance of the touted Utah National Guard's 23rd Army Band, under he baton of CWO Thomas Maxwell. The observance will be in the Salt Lake Tabernacle on Temple Square in Salt Lake City and will begin at 8:30 p.m. Last year some 8,000 persons per-sons packed the famous building build-ing to hear the choir and band musically honor veterans of past wars and those Americans in uniform now. The patriotic event is free to the public. Tickets are available avail-able from guardsmen and at National Guard armories, Gen. Watts noted. |
