"Many many thanks and kudos to the wonderful group of musicians of the 33rd Illinois Volunteer Regiment Band! Your music and dedication to the instruments and music of the Civil War made for a fabulous weekend concert. All that attended were thoroughly entertained by the music and the stories presented. Most importantly your generosity of time and talent helped raise money towards finding a cure for blood cancers. 100% of the ticket sales and donations was donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Thank you again for delighting us all with your music and for presenting this special concert."
