The proposed sole source Firm Fixed Price contract to Legacy Scenic & Productions LLC. will be to provide Scenic Support services for The United States Army Band (TUSAB), “Pershing’s Own” Holiday Festival. This annual event is part of an ongoing community relations program that showcases the Army’s most prestigious military band while bringing to the Washington, D.C. community a special insight to the Army through musical entertainment. The scenic set was designed and built by Legacy Scenic & Production LLC. and they are the only company with the proprietary knowledge of the customized venue with the ability to set up, make minor repairs/ fixes, and tear down and store the set properly.
