The St. Charles North High School Music Department will conduct its seventh annual Veterans Celebration Concert in the high school’s auditorium at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11, 2013.

The concert is a salute to veterans, men and women serving in our Armed Forces, their families and friends.

This free concert pays tribute to all veterans’ service to our country. For our students it emphasizes the importance of the day, enabling them to honor our military veterans for giving us the freedom to live and believe as we choose. In recognition of the importance this event has in our community, the St. Charles Youth Commission and many businesses have generously contributed to the continuing success of this annual concert.

Musical selections will feature American music to celebrate our nation’s veterans performed by North’s award winning music students. Songs from each branch of the Armed Forces will be played to recognize those veterans present. The special guest Master of Ceremonies is WGN Radio’s Orion Samuelson.

To register for free tickets, visit www.scnmusic.com/veterans. There will only be one show, space is limited and past performances have sold out. Priority ticketing and seating will be given to those who have served our country.
