The renowned brass band Rocky Mountain Brassworks returns to Lakewood on Friday, November 6th at the Lakewood Cultural Center for a salute to veterans and current members of the Armed Forces. This energetic concert will include patriotic classics, rousing marches, compelling brass arrangements, and powerful adaptations of "Swingin' Yanks", "Stars and Stripes Forever" and "The Armed Forces Salute."

The band last performed in Lakewood two years ago, delighting an enthusiastic audience with brass interpretations of patriotic and Americana music.

Through the power and emotion of music, we want to acknowledge all military personnel who served this country."
