10th Mountain Division Band
On August 1, the Sackets Harbor Historical Society proudly presents the 10th Mountain Division band commanded and conducted by Chief Warrant Officer Three William S. McCulloch. The Band has recently returned from a deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom where they performed throughout Iraq and Kuwait for U.S. Military and Coalition forces from over 30 nations. These professional Soldier-Musicians are trained and ready to deploy anywhere in the world.
Stateside, the musicians of the 10th Mountain Division Band provide a wide range of musical entertainment for the Soldiers, as well as for the citizens of the North Country. In addition to the Marching and Ceremonial Band, the 10th Mountain Band can also field an array of diverse performing groups such as: Stage Band, Rock Band, Jazz Combo, Salsa Band, Dixieland Band, Brass Quintet, and even solo piano and guitar.
This is the sixteenth appearance by the 10th Mountain band in the Sackets Concert series; they first played in 1989. From patriotic marches to pop, Sinatra standards to salsa, there’s something for everyone. Sackets is fortunate to be included as part of their impressive summer schedule of community appearances.
This concert tops off the eighth annual Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site’s War of 1812 Weekend held all day Saturday until 1pm on Sunday. Visitors enjoy authentic presentations in a lively, fun filled atmosphere.
