<h5>Salute in Song</h5>
Celebrate the spirit of America with Salute in Song featuring the U.S. Navy Band Great Lakes. Experience an inspiring afternoon of patriotic music, American favorites, and timeless classics in Gorton’s John &amp; Nancy Hughes Theater. The talented musicians of the U.S. Navy Band Great Lakes proudly honor those who serve while sharing the power of live music with the community. Whether you’re celebrating a loved one, showing your patriotism, or simply enjoying a great performance, this free concert offers something for everyone. Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of music, service, and community.
Navy Band Great Lakes’ Wind Ensemble is comprised of active duty musicians under the direction of Lieutenant David Harbuziuk. This ensemble upholds the legacy of its famous bandmaster, Lieutenant Commander John Philip Sousa, by continuing the tradition of military music throughout the Midwest. The Wind Ensemble’s repertoire consists of classic concert band literature, patriotic music, marches, pop music arrangements, and vocal features.
As the musical “Ambassadors to the Midwest,” the Navy Band Great Lakes Wind Ensemble supports Navy outreach across a nine-state area, stretching from Ohio to Kansas, Minnesota to Missouri, and every Midwestern state in between. Wind Ensemble concerts allow the band to tell the Navy’s story, celebrate 250 years of service to our nation, and reach audiences that do not have opportunities to see Sailors on a regular basis. Concerts are patriotic, family-friendly events designed to be entertaining for young and old alike.
<h5>Proud to Serve</h5>
“Pride in Service” has been the theme for Navy Band Great Lakes for more than a century. From 1911, when the band first formed, to 1917, when Lieutenant Commander John Philip Sousa served as Bandmaster, to today, under the direction of Lieutenant David Harbuziuk, our music represents the pride and professionalism that is synonymous with the United States Navy. In addition to public outreach concerts, units from Navy Band Great Lakes also provide military support across the region, including serving Commander, Naval Service Training Command’s mission of transforming volunteers into twenty-first-century Sea Warriors by performing each week for recruits, Sailors, and their families at basic training graduations.
Navy Band Great Lakes is grateful to maintain a robust schedule with more than 250 military support and outreach performances annually for millions of Americans across the Midwest.
This event is free but seats are limited- please register to reserve yours now!

Discuss the state of democracy in the United States—Join Lake Forest College professors Dr. Jim Marquardt, Dr. Alejandra Lopez Villegas, and Dr. Zachary Cook for this exciting new community engagement series.
A State of DemocracyRegistration deadline: Tuesday, September 1
Registration fee: $250 for the five-week series

Course times: Tuesday evenings, 6-8 p.m.
Course dates: September 8, September 15, September 22, October 6, October 13
Two College-wide lectures are associated with this series: <a href="https://advancement.lakeforest.edu/register/WorldNeedsLeaders" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">“The World Needs Leaders” with former U.S. Ambassador Jeff Flake</a> on September 23 and <a href="https://advancement.lakeforest.edu/register/?id=8935bb79-f62f-4326-bd92-0c1a4c32f0c4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">“MLK and the Voting Rights Act” with Pulitzer Prize winning author Jonathan Eig</a> on September 28. All course participants are invited to attend as part of this series.
Held at the newly renovated Glen Rowan House, this series explores both the constraints on democracy—such as recent democratic backsliding, the Constitution’s roadblocks on majority rule, and the weakening of voting rights to name a few—and strategies to overcome them and enhance democracy in America. Each week will highlight a new topic and the opening and closing sessions will begin with a social reception featuring food and refreshments prior to class.
Both the educational content and social receptions will offer opportunities to build community, engage with College leadership, and learn more about ongoing campus initiatives.
