Please join us for a musical celebration of USA250 with Chuck Seipp, Trumpet and Todd Fickley, Organ as they play rousing Patriotic songs and reverent Hymns including an audience Sing-along and a tribute to our Veterans and Active Duty Military. Set to a moving video presentation the duo takes us on a visual journey across America while performing favorites such as Battle Hymn of the Republic, Mansions of the Lord, God Bless America and other stirring songs on the historic 1949 Moeller III/30 Pipe Organ, the largest instrument in Cochise County.
