Salute to Service: A Tribute to America’s Veterans – Lakewood Ranch Wind Ensemble

This season’s annual patriotic celebration roars to life as “The Boss” hits the Cultural Coast. Born in the U.S.A. features powerhouse vocalist Alex Shillo performing the legendary music of Bruce Springsteen, backed by the full force of The Pops Orchestra. Audiences will be swept up in iconic hits like “Dancing in the Dark,” “Glory Days,” and “My Hometown,” reimagined in thrilling orchestral arrangements that bring new depth and energy to Springsteen’s timeless sound. 
The concert then turns proudly patriotic with a heartfelt salute to our nation’s veterans, inviting patrons to clap, cheer, and wave their American flags to beloved traditional patriotic favorites. Rock, pride, and red-white-and-blue spirit come together for an unforgettable night of music that celebrates both American icons and American heroes.<ul><li>Saturday, November 14, 2026 · 3:00 PM <a href="https://thepopsorchestra.app.getcuebox.com/o/21NL0B8D/shows/34P0F24X/showtimes/PBQH311P/ticket-selection" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Parrish Community High School</a></li></ul>Other Performance Dates and Locations:<ul><li>Sunday, November 15, 2026 · 3:00 PM <a href="https://thepopsorchestra.app.getcuebox.com/o/21NL0B8D/shows/34P0F24X/showtimes/3KBMQQ02/ticket-selection" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Riverview Performing Arts Center</a></li></ul><ul><li>Monday, November 16, 2026 · 7:30 PM <a href="https://thepopsorchestra.app.getcuebox.com/o/21NL0B8D/shows/34P0F24X/showtimes/C7C618VM/ticket-selection" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Neel Performing Arts Center</a></li></ul>
