(La Porte, IN) - This evening’s edition of the Arts in the Park summer concert series features visitors from our nation’s capital. The U.S. Army Field Band, known as the Jazz Ambassadors, will play tonight at Fox Park.

The 19-member, finely-dressed ensemble tours the country, indeed the world, playing everything from big band swing, bebop, and New Orleans jazz to traditional patriotic favorites.

Their concert starts at 7 p.m., with a pre-concert by Kyla Webb preceding at 6:30.  As usual, there will be other activites, including a poetry reading by Carnessa Carnes, art exhibit by Tanis Pawson, and facepainting with Joyful Creations. Concessions will be served by members of Bible study group The Wisdom Seekers, as well as food trucks operated by The Lunch Box and Digzy Dogz.
