1st Infantry Division Band and Salina Symphathy Perform at Symphony at Sunset

The Eisenhower Presidential Library grounds in Abilene were the site Saturday for the fifth Sympony at Sunset D-Day Commemoration concert.

The 1st Infantry Division Band performed concert selections following a space theme in commemoration of President Eisenhower’s establishment of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1958. The Band’s selection featured space represented in movie themes and pop songs, and included songs such as “Magic Carpet Ride,” “Aquarius,” and “Space Oddity.”

The Salina Symphony furthered the space theme with selections ranging from “Fly Me to the Moon and “When You Wish Upon a Star”, featuring vocalists from the 1st Infantry Division Band.
