The US Coast Guard's 222nd Birthday Celebration August 7, 2012

In celebration of the U.S. Coast Guard's 222nd birthday, the U.S. Navy Memorial will host the United States Coast Guard Dixieland Jazz Band for a special birthday performance during the 2012 Concerts on the Avenue series. The five-member group was organized in 1970 to perform classic jazz, blues and rags with a "New Orleans" flavor and has since entertained audiences across the globe.
