The Kings County American Legion Headquarters Band will perform a free concert this Sunday, March 16 at the New Utrecht Parish House, 18th Avenue and 84th Street. The concert, conducted by the indefatigable Irwin Meyer, begins at 2:30 p.m.

Steeped in history and diversity, these days the band is actually a concert band and a marching band rolled into one. Its members are musicians from the John Philip Sousa Band, the Goldman Band, a number of the famed big bands of the 1940s, as well as professional musicians, students, mechanics, teachers, police officers and health care professionals.

The concert is open to the public. To learn more, call (718) 256-7173.
