The 9th annual Military Tribute Concert at the Iowa State Fair was another HUGE success in 2022! The weather was rainy for the first time in our 9 year history at the fair, but thanks to the efforts by many, we were able to put all of our participants under the Riley stage roof, and we were so thankful for another meaningful event to honor our US military active members and veterans.
A 60-voice choir, 35-instrument orchestra, and 20-voice children's choir sang and played a variety of military songs, including some favorites that the audience could sing along to. As always, one of our favorites is the "Armed Forces Medley", where we honor all of the attending veterans by playing each Branch's theme song.
