Go behind the scenes during Arts Bonita Springs' Veterans Day concert. The art center honored veterans with a Big Band concert featuring the South Florida Jazz Orchestra and Lisanne Lyons, a former United States Air Force Band vocalist.

Arts Bonita executive director Alyona Ushe credits Dr. Chuck Bergeron as the one who came up with the idea to celebrate local veterans with a big band-themed concert. The song selection for the Veterans Day concert was created with purpose. Dr. Bergeron created an accompanying presentation that flashes images of prominent big band artists like Glen Miller, and honors veterans and first responders.
