Electric Brigade: America 250 Celebration

Join us for the Electric Brigade: America 250 Celebration featuring Dothan native Senior Chief Musician Rory Cherry, who will perform with the U.S. Naval Academy Band on June 30 at 7 p.m. at the Dothan Opera House. This concert marks the completion of the US Navy Music's "50 for 250" initiative, celebrating America’s 250th anniversary with performances in all 50 states from July 4, 2025, to July 4, 2026. The concert is free and open to the public; however, tickets are required and can be reserved at www.dothanoperahouse.com/calendar.

As a 1995 Dothan High School graduate, Cherry returns home to honor his musical journey before retiring in January 2027. Throughout his career, he has risen through the ranks, playing a significant role in the Naval Academy Band's Electric Brigade, which serves as the musical heartbeat of the academy, supporting key traditions and events. This concert is one of two free live performances hosted in Dothan as part of the city’s America’s 250th celebration.
