Donald Trump's inauguration, now less than a month away, is looking to be a pared down affair compared to the extravaganza thrown for President Obama eight years ago.

Today the Presidential Inaugural Committee released a bare bones schedule, promising that more events would come.

Just two official inaugural balls are being planned, with a separate ball to celebrate military members and first responders, which is more in line with Obama's 2013 re-election inaugural schedule than the Democrats' 2009 blowout, with the first couple attending 10 inaugural balls the night the new president was sworn in.

'The 2017 inaugural celebrations will reflect President-elect Trump's eagerness to get to work in order to make our country safer and stronger,' explained Presidential Inaugural Committee Chairman Tom Barrack in a statement, likely anticipating the comparisons made between inaugural plans this year and those orchestrated in 2009.

Trump's plans, thus far, are steeped in tradition.

While there will be a number of lunches and other events starting January 17 and going on for the next five days, the official program begins the morning of January 19 with a wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, which both Trump and his running mate, Vice President-elect Mike Pence, will attend.

Next up on the official schedule is a 'Make America Great Again Welcome Celebration' to be held at the Lincoln Memorial, also billed as a concert, according to materials from the committee.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee had originally advertised to potential high-dollar donors an 'Inaugural Concert and Fireworks,' which would be 'an exciting musical celebration on the National Mall,' according to leaked documents given to Variety and the Center for Public Integrity.

It's likely that this is the same event, though an email to the inaugural committee asking for clarification hasn't been returned.

In the current schedule there is no mention of fireworks, though Trump recently mocked Hillary Clinton for her own fireworks cancellation.

'When you lose you don't set off fireworks,' Trump said to a laughing crowd of supporters last week in Wisconsin.

There's precedent for a big concert at the Lincoln Memorial before inauguration with Usher, James Taylor and Jennifer Nettles among those taking the stage in 2009

There's precedent for holding a large concert at the Lincoln Memorial preceding the inauguration, with the Obamas doing such a thing in 2009.

Their concert included performances by Bruce Springsteen, Mary J. Blige, James Taylor, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Shakira, Beyonce, U2 and many more.

Only one performer overall has been announced for this year's festivities, that of 16-year-old Jackie Evancho, a runner-up on 'America's Got Talent,' tapped to sing the National Anthem at Trump's swearing-in.

Before that takes place on January 20, the Washington Post confirmed that Trump will attend a private family church service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, another inauguration tradition.

The newspaper also reported that Trump is likely to overnight at Blair House, the president's official guest house, on inauguration eve, instead of staying at his own Trump hotel located just down the street.

President-elect Trump will be sworn in on the platform built in front of the Capitol Building and then, like his predecessors, appear in a inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.

Then, according to the schedule, he'll be off to the balls.

The committee stated that there would be 'two inaugural balls and a ball saluting our armed forces and first responders.'

In 2009, President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama went to a whopping 10 balls and then held a more intimate after-hours party at the White House with names like Oprah Winfrey and Valerie Jarrett.

At their first stop, the Neighborhood Ball, which afforded low-priced tickets to local residents, the Obamas danced to 'At Last' sung by Beyonce.

Michelle Obama wore a white one-shoulder gown by designer Jason Wu, which now lives at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

The Obamas then moved on to a Commander in Chief Ball, honoring the military.

In 2013, the Obamas only participated in two balls, The Inaugural Ball and the Commander-in-Chief Ball

They went to four regional balls: The Eastern Ball, the Mid-Atlantic Ball, the Midwestern Ball and the Southern Ball.

They stopped by balls for their home states and the home states of the Bidens, celebrating Hawaii, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Delaware, before heading to the Youth Ball, a tribute to the new president's youngest supporters.

In 2013, there were simply two balls.

There was 'The Inaugural Ball,' in which thousands of guests filled up the convention space at the downtown Washington Convention Center, used usually to host events like the annual car show.

The Obamas attended a Commander-in-Chief's Ball as well.

In both 2009 and 2013 the Obamas also hosted a Kids' Inaugural, as the parents of young daughters.

Performers included Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers in 2009 and Usher and Katy Perry in 2013.
