| Every November, we honor U.S. veterans on the anniversary of the end of World War I. Each year, the Northbrook American Legion Post #791 holds a special Veterans Day Ceremony in the NBJH gym. The NBJH Wind Ensemble will performing patriotic selections to the ceremony this November. One important piece the band will perform is a tribute to all five branches of the armed forces. As each branch is honored, veterans and active service members from that branch are invited to stand and be applauded for their sacrifice. The performance of this piece has a long tradition among performing bands, and is truly a moving experience to witness. We invite all members of our Northbrook community, most especially our veterans and active service members, to join us at 10:30am on Monday, November 11 in the NBJH large gym. |
