Show your support for the Signal Corps Band at Fort Gordon! Sign the petition today!
Since the Arts Council started the petition to show our community’s support for the Signal Corps Band at Fort Gordon, almost 500 people have signed. We believe the Band is an important part of the Augusta Arts community and we will share the results of the petition with our lawmaker and city leaders.
As one signer posted to the petition comments: “Bolstering Morale is indeed a very important part of taking care of the troops.” Now, the community has an opportunity to bolster the morale of the service people in the Signal Corps Band and share their importance to us as a community! Add your own signature today!
