Description

Mayor Summey announced that 500 tickets to the Saturday's North Charleston Pops! show are being donated to local veterans so they can enjoy the performance for free. Representatives from the Charleston County Veterans Affairs Office were on hand to accept the donation.

The first half of Saturday's "We Will Never Forget: A Salute to our Veterans" concert features music from the Revolutionary and Civil wars, World War I, the Big Band Era, and a special salute to the Armed Forces. The second half features the Rewinders, a rock band playing music from the time of the Korean and Vietnam wars, including the music of Elvis and the British Invasion. The concert ends with Ray Charles' version of America, the Beautiful and Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA. Mayor Keith Summey will perform a dramatic reading during the performance.

The North Charleston Pops! made their concert debut on June 26 at the North Charleston Coliseum backing up legendary musical group Earth, Wind and Fire. Earth, Wind and Fire made a stop in the Lowcountry as part of their "Guiding Lights" tour and to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the City of North Charleston. The North Charleston Pops! performed with the band on some of their biggest hits including, "Boogie Wonderland", "Shining Star", "Sing a Song", "September", "Let's Groove" and many more. Members of the North Charleston Pops! have performed in the past with such national touring Broadway shows as WICKED, MARY POPPINS, CHICAGO and PETER PAN during their runs at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center.
