"America Remembers" USO Style Variety Show
The Dave Banks Big Band
Hoover Auditorium, 7:30 p.m.
Celebrating the 250th Birthday of our nation, this show has everything. Patriotic songs, a musical salute to our Veterans, multiple tribute artists and a glimpse into over seven decades of popular music from the swing era to today’s music. Be ready to sing along and dance in the aisles.
This 23-piece big band show features patriotic songs such as “God Bless America” and “America the Beautiful,” then moves into a big medley of every Armed Forces Theme Song from the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and even the Space Force. The band then takes the audience on a journey through seven decades of American Pop Music from the 1940s through the present day. Within that scope, they employ tribute artists that capture the magic of those songs. Included are Elvis’s American Trilogy, Neil Diamond’s "America" and the closer, "God Bless the USA."
