From Contra Costa Times:  South Korean Navy Band to play for veterans in Cerritos 





CERRITOS -- The South Korean Navy Band will offer a free concert Monday for Korean War veterans.
The free concert will take place at 7 p.m. at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, but public tickets are unavailable. Stand-by tickets, however, are available before the concert.
Korean War Veterans will make a special entrance at the concert, which also will feature Korean traditional and pop music, Tae kwon do demonstrations and a color guard presentation.
