Free Holiday Concert
The Grant County Community Concert Association presents the 1st Armored Division Band on Sunday, December 14th in the WNMU Fine Arts Theater at 3 PM.
The 1st Armored Division Band is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Stationed at Fort Bliss outside El Paso, "Old Ironsides" traces its heritage from 1943, when it was activated in the early days of World War II.
To this band, however, music was often a sideline as division bands were used as infantry units during World War II. The majority of the band's time was not spent in rehearsing and performing, but in guarding supplies or headquarters installations. Throughout the decades they have been deactivated and reactivated several times, being deployed to war-torn regions around the globe including Korea, Kuwait, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo to name few. At each deployment they provided support and performed for troops and dignitaries always embodying their motto "Performance with Pride".

December 7, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Grant County Community Concert Association"
Karen Beckenbach will speak about the Grant County Community Concert Association's history, current situation and what the future might hold. The "community concert" concept was born in 1927 with the slogan "a Carnegie Hall in every town". The GCCCA started in 1947 and ran for 13 years before weak economic conditions forced it to close its doors. It was restarted in 1971 with the help from the Silver City chapter of the American Association of University Women.
Up until the covid pandemic shutdown the GCCCA had been going strong, providing at least 6 concerts every season, plus at least two free Educational Outreach Programs to the area's elementary school age kids. The association is completely run by volunteers and works with Live on Stage, a concert booking organization in Nashville, TN to bring in national and internationally recognized performing groups.
Beckenbach will discuss the struggles the GCCCA has faced since the pandemic.
