The Southern State Community Band will honor our nation's veterans with a Veterans Day concert 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College's Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. The Veterans Day concert is free and open to the public.

The band will perform a number of patriotic selections, including Sousa marches, "The Stars and Stripes Forever," "The Liberty Bell" and "The Thunder." Other pieces include Larry Neeck's "Sons of Liberty," Chris Sharp's "Purple Mountain Majesty" and a medley of U.S. Armed Forces services songs.

The band will also be raffling a beautiful patriotic quilt that day, designed by Caroline Siemers and made by a master quilter in the community.
