The Alpharetta City Band Presents a Musical Celebration of Flag Day

The Alpharetta City Band, a traditional concert band under the baton of Dr. Nicole Fallon, will perform its annual Flag Day concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 11, 2017, at the Alpharetta Adult Activity Center, 13450 Cogburn Road, Alpharetta, Ga., 30004. The concert is free and open to the public.

Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the United States flag by the Continental Congress in 1777.

“The annual Flag Day concert has become one or the band’s most anticipated performances of the year,” said Don Nahser, the ensemble’s Program Supervisor. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to express our love of this great country through patriotic music.”
