The musical theater bug bit chiropractor Ron Bouffard of Boothbay Harbor back when he was a student at Lewiston Junior High School. The production was “The Yankee Doodle.”

Bouffard got the lead.

That same musical is the source of some of the patriotic songs “Wings Over Wiscasset” attendees will get to hear next Tuesday, August 6. The non-profit arts group Music Doing Good, including Bouffard as one of the singers, will be putting on its “Voices of Freedom” program.

“So it's sort of coming full circle,” Bouffard said of the connection between his theatrical debut and the upcoming concert.

Bouffard, a tenor, has performed at the Boothbay Playhouse, the Heartwood Regional Theater Company in Damariscotta, and the Chocolate Church in Bath.

He plans to sing in a “Lady Liberty” medley of circa 1920s songs at the “Wings” performance.

His work with Music Doing Good gives him an opportunity to perform with very talented people, Bouffard said.

Patriotic Broadway, rhythm and blues, classical and pop music will all be represented in Tuesday night's concert, Music Doing Good's executive and creative director David LaDuca said.

The concert will energize event-goers' patriotic spirit, LaDuca said.

“I think it will be a great, moving tribute,” Bouffard said.

The concert is set to run from 7:30 p.m. to 8:40 p.m. in Hangar 10, just before a fireworks show concludes “Wings.”

For another Music Doing Good singer, Dennis St. Pierre, Tuesday's performance and the day's other activities at the airport will culminate months of work as event producer of “Wings.”

“It's awesome,” St. Pierre said when asked how the final days of preparation were going. “It's crazy, but awesome.”

Music Doing Good's outreach includes after-school music programs, youth scholarships, gently used instruments for schools, the concerts and other programs to help bring music into people's lives.
