<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;">Columbia Parks and Recreation is partnering with the United States Air Force (USAF) Band of Mid-America to present a special concert in August. The USAF Shades of Blue jazz ensemble will perform at 6 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 27 as part of the Stephens Lake Amphitheater Concert Series. The Amphitheater is located on the northwest side of Stephens Lake Park, 100 Old 63 N.</p>
<p>The concert is free of charge and open to the public. Concert-goers are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chair for seating.</p>
<p>Shades of Blue consists of 13 professional musicians whose music inspires patriotism, connects communities with military service members and honors our country’s veterans.</p>
<p>Concert-goers will be as likely to hear the music of contemporary jazz composers as the classic sounds of Count Basie or Major Glenn Miller. The band features instrumental and vocal soloists, as well as compositions and arrangements by its own talented members. </p>
<p>Small ensembles or individuals may be available to media for performances and interviews. Please contact 618.229.2855 or email sarah.cosano@us.af.mil to make arrangements.</p>
<p>The Amphitheater Concert Series is sponsored throughout the summer by KPLA 101.5. For more information, call Parks and Recreation at 573.874.7460.</p></div>
