JAM SESSION | General David L. Goldfein, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff, visited The USAF Band and to our delight joined in with our newest ensemble SuperSonic. Gen. Goldfein has often talked of his early days as a musician. The timing of this couldn’t have been more inspirational for SuperSonic...this was their last “performance” before they begin a deployment as the AFCENT Band!

This episode of "On The Fly" features our drumline performing their latest edition of "Muster." Originally conceived to highlight the unique capabilities of the ceremonial drumline in the 2003 "Centennial of Flight Tattoo," we are proud to share this version with you as we prepare to celebrate the 72nd birthday of the United States Air Force.

The United States Air Force Band in Washington, D.C., is proud to present its "On the Fly" music video series. Capturing moments of daily life for members of The U.S. Air Force Band, these videos provide an insider's look at the many talents and capabilities of these Airmen Musicians, and how they inspire American citizens, honor our service men and women, and connect with our global community every day.

Through world-class musical presentations and ceremonies, The U.S. Air Force Band helps create bonds between the United States and the worldwide community. Using music to bridge language, cultural, societal and socio-economic differences, the Band's performances advance international relationships and inspire positive and long-lasting impressions of the U.S. Air Force and the United States of America.

The excellence demonstrated by our Airmen Musicians is a reflection of the excellence carried out 24 hours a day by Airmen stationed around the globe. These professionals are proud to represent all Airmen, whose selfless service and sacrifices ensure the freedoms we enjoy as American citizens.
