present the first in a series of
open-air band concerts Sunday
from 1630 to 1800.
The 25 soldier-musicians will
play a variety type program—
“ pop” melodies, light classics
and several “long hair” or mas
ter compositions. Lasting an
hour, the concert is being pre
sented following a request by
the Bend USO to provide such
entertainment for the influx of
