This is part of our commemoration to the active and retired servicemen and women as a continuation of the Memorial Weekend celebrations.  If anyone wishes to have their military picture placed in our photo show, we ask you to send post to our Facebook page. Please add the approximate date and place the photo was taken. The picture can be of an individual or group of people. We ask only that it be military in nature.

The band will perform a multitude of songs, such as; “Stars and Stripeszzzz”, “Chattanooga Choo-Choo” and “April in Paris”, just to name a few. The photo slide show will be joined with the song “Wind Beneath My Wings”. Under the direction of James Lacombe, The Red River Jazz Band has entertained hundreds of fans throughout Central Louisiana.
