Concert by the Mississippi River

 During my recent Holiday in Iowa I was able to attend the 312 Army Band Concert in Guttenberg, Iowa.  The venue for this event was the Bandshell located on the bank of the Mississippi River.  You can see a portion of the Pilotwheel on the facade of the Bandstand.

 This Band is headquartered in Lawrence, Kansas and they were completing their 2011 Summer Tour.

 As you can tell, the event was casual, but also high energy.  This concert was a very fitting way to complete a Wonderful Fourth of July Week in Guttenberg, Iowa.  All of the performers appeared to be having "much" fun as they played their respective instruments.  Their interaction with the crowd was outstanding. 

 I appreciated the "Never Quit" logo on the back of the Band Members Shirts.  They certainly displayed the Army work ethic in an excellent manner.  The 412 Army Band certainly represented our U. S. Army well. 

Thank You for a wonderful evening.  I would estimate that the crowd that attended this event which was promoted as "Music in the Park" was at least 250 people.
