Brasstacular benefit Concert for Honor Flight Rochester includes musicians from all over upstate

A concert to benefit the veteran’s group Honor Flight Rochester will take place on Sunday, July 30 at the Greece American Post 468 Outdoor Music Festival site, 344 Dorsey Road.

The event, referred to as the Ultimate Brasstacular Benefit Concert for Honor Flight Rochester, is hosted by the Greece American Legion Post 468 Family. It will feature some of Upstate New York’s most exciting drum corps, brass bands, and big band acts.

The day-long festival will bring together music from Rochester’s legendary drum and bugle corps culture, and will conclude with an en masse salute to the 70th Anniversary of Rochester’s Fabulous Crusaders.

“Our concerts have helped more than 100 veterans go on an Honor Flight, and many of these vets call it a trip of a lifetime. We’re proud to say the biggest support has come from Rochester’s extended drum corps family,” said Event Coordinator Tom Allen, Director of the All In Brass Band.

Each year this concert is one of the biggest, brassiest events of the summer, and for the first time ever it will include brass acts from Syracuse and Buffalo.

All proceeds from the concert will go to Honor Flight Rochester. Gates open at 11 a.m. with music starting at 11:30 a.m. and  continuing until 7 p.m.

Tickets for this event cost $12 each and $40 for a family of four and are available at Post 468 at 344 Dorsey Road, or by calling 663-2091. Food and beverages for all ages will be available. Festival tent with seating, lawn chairs welcome.
