10th Mountain Division to play Sunday, July 31 under the tent
The Fulton Chain of Lakes Performing Arts Council, Inc. (FCLPAC) will present its 13th anniversary concert featuring the Symphony Syracuse Orchestra on Friday, July 29 at 7:30 p.m. under the tent at Inlet’s Arrowhead Park.
A free children’s concert will begin at 3 p.m., and a fundraising Cocktail Party will be held at the Woods Inn from 4 to 7 p.m.
Traditionally, the FCLPAC board has arranged for an additional concert the day or two following the event.
This year, event chairman Jerry Dupuis, after months of negotiations, was able to book the entire U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division Band from Fort Drum for a Sunday, July 31 performance.
“In the past, just a portion of the band was available to perform. I am absolutely delighted that after 13 years of attempting to arrange for the entire band to play at our Inlet venue, we were finally successful,” said Dupuis.
The 10th Mountain Division Band includes 18 members—17 men and 1 woman—who will present a program that encompasses patriotic, jazz, rock, and Dixieland music.
The concert begins at 2 p.m. and is free of charge, however Dupuis said a free will donation will be collected to cover the band’s travel expenses.
General admission tickets for the Friday night Symphony Syracuse performance are $25, and Cocktail Party tickets are $110.
Tickets can be purchased at the Old Forge and Inlet Information Offices. Lawn tickets, available on concert night only, are $10. More information is available by calling (315) 357-5501 or 369-6983.
