River City Brass will commemorate the 18th anniversary of the tragic circumstances that occurred when a terrorist attack led to the fatal crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania on September 11th 2001.

The band will perform at a special memorial service at the Flight 93 National Memorial to honour those innocent people who lost their lives.

It will include a moment of silence, sounding the Bells of Remembrance, a reading of the passengers and crew member names, and the laying of a wreath at the Wall of Names.
