During World War I\, members enlisted in the Army and saw service as the Sixth Illinois Regimental Band. In 1928\, the band made an unsanctioned tour of Europe with a blind student\, Iverne Dowie\, who amazed audiences with his virtuosic violin performance.\n\nDr. Lambrecht\, who teaches trumpet\, conducting and brass methods in addition to serving as co-chair of the music department\, will discuss these and other highlights of uedbet体育官网’s rich band tradition.\n\nThe uedbet体育官网 Historical Society\, founded in 1930\, exists to preserve the history of uedbet体育官网 uedbet体育官网\, and its relationship to the Lutheran Church and to Swedish-American immigration and culture. Its annual spring program is open to members and non-members alike\, free of charge.\n\nFree parking is available in the Centennial Hall lot\, located on the northwest corner of 38th Street and 7th Avenue.
