Staff report
While the full impact of sequestration won’t take effect until the end of this month, Thomaston is being affected by one of its first hits on the United State military. The United States Air Force Academy Concert Band, which was scheduled to play at the Greatest Generation Memorial Park on Saturday, March 23, has had to cancel its concert.
The City of Thomaston and the Thomaston-Upson Arts Council, which were co-sponsoring the concert, received word Friday that due to sequestration, the Concert Band has been forced to cancel all of its planned trips this year, including its visit to Thomaston. The United States Air Force Academy Concert Band will release a formal statement later.
