The Sharpshooters Woodwind Quartet, a part of the Nebraska National Guard 43rd Army Band, will perform at Homestead National Monument of America on Saturday, June 22 at 4 p.m. Their performance will be a part of the monument’s annual Homestead Days events.
The Sharpshooters repertoire includes both classical pieces and popular music.
