SALUTE! concert moving indoors to Columbus North

With the possibility of bad weather in the forecast, organizers of the Friday’s Salute! concert will be moving the event indoors.

Originally scheduled in front of the Columbus Municipal Airport terminal building, the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic show will now be held at Columbus North High School’s Erne Auditorium.

The free concert honors those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces with a selection of patriotic music. There will also be Americana, Hoedown, film & video game favorites and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.

Organizers say that temperatures are supposed to be in the 60s at the scheduled start time, but will drop rapidly into the low to mid 50s. They say that shift could cause damage to the delicate instruments, especially stringed ones. And it would affect the comfort and safety of attendees and musicians.

The doors will open at 6 p.m. at the auditorium and the program will begin at 7 p.m. Seating will be available on a first come first served basis.

The show is free and you are invited to attend.
