The public is invited to a free concert by the Missouri National Guard’s 135th Army Band at 7 p.m. this Thursday, Nov. 9th in Taylor Performing Arts Center Auditorium (TPAC) at Missouri Southern State University Campus.

The 135th Army Band is under the Command of Chief Warrant Officer 2 Keith Moyer and First Sergeant Charles Bart. The Citizen-Soldiers of the 135th Army Band represent a diverse group of individuals who proudly serve our great Nation and State.
