Trimerotropis maritima
It looks like it might be Trimerotropis maritima.

The Field Guide To Grasshoppers, Katydids, And Crickets Of The United State by Capinera, Scott, & Walker states that "... any light-colored Trimerotropis species found east of the Great Plains is likely to be the seaside grasshopper..."

 
Yes, it is
And, it is one of the most strikingly colored specimens I've seen. Beautiful!
