Trimerotropis maritima
This is a 5th instar nymph and looks like this species to me. A sandy area? This is a wide-ranging and variable species. I suspect in your area it would be the ssp. citrina, and the coloration and shape of the pronotum fit that best; however, it could be ssp. maritima, which occurs around the Great Lakes.

Nymph.
Nice image of a nymph in the Acrididae family, and the band-winged grasshopper subfamily. Will have to wait for an adult to make the genus and species ID:-) Keep an eye out for mature individuals within two weeks to a month. They obviously like the habitat and shouldn't stray from it.
