In recent years the 1st Infantry Division Band has performed a popular holiday concert at the C. L. Hoover Opera House in December, but this year it will not be possible.
Rob Wilson, Military Affairs Director for the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce, said all operations for the band have been put on hold since they're preparing for a rotation to the National Training Center.
Wilson said Fort Riley will continue to take requests for the band on a case by case basis. "But ultimately they will not come back in to start playing functions until probably about May time frame.
Information on the concert cancellation was provided at the Military Affairs Council Breakfast in Junction City on Thursday.
