CLARKSVILLE, TN – The Cumberland Winds, Clarksville’s own concert band, is about to present the final performance in our community’s formal salute to America’s Semiquincentennial, “The Road to 250: America’s Story.” This is, of course, our nation’s 250th birthday.
To accommodate differing schedules, the Cumberland Winds will offer three chances for you to join in this historic celebration. The first chance will be on June 26 at 7:30 at the Gateway Church Assemblies of God in Ashland City. Two days later, they will repeat the performance on June 28 at 4:30 at Grace Lutheran Church on Madison Street in Clarksville, and the grand finale will be at the First Presbyterian Church in Clarksville at 7:30 on July 1.
“The Road to 250: America’s Story” has been gradually unfolding for the past two years. During this time, we have been treated to 12 thematic, dramatic readings that told our nation’s history and a special concert in May 2025, that honored the 200th anniversary of Marquis de Lafayette’s visit to our fair city in May 1825. “The Road to 250” program has offered our community a steady reminder of America’s greatness, and this “Parade of American Music” will be a fitting capstone to the celebration.
