Last week the ceremonial band was at the Hollywood Bowl for the #4thofJuly concerts. They performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and The Go Go's! It was an exciting couple of days, especially for our trumpet players. They were the featured soloists in “Bugler’s Holiday” during the first half of the show, and they nailed it every night! Way to represent! 🎇 🎺 #USAFbands

Last week, over the course of two days, the Concert Band did a phenomenal job recording background music (written by the USAF Band of Mid-America’s Staff Arranger, TSgt Jeremy Martin and our very own Staff Arranger, A1C Cagdas Donmezer) for an Air Mobility Command Public Affairs video entitled, “Mobility Science!” It was an exciting project that brought back memories of us recording pieces during our college years! #USAFBands Air Mobility Command #recordingproject #collegememories

Today we are highlighting the inspiration, outreach, and artistic growth that we bring to our local schools. The importance of kids’ development in sciences, technologies, engineering, mathematics, and the arts in our schools is a priority that our Air Force supports through direct partnership and face-to-face mentorship. We’re proud to #connect, #inspire, and make lasting impressions on our future generation! Pictured is A1C Vazquez helping a student with her bass performance! #USAFBands
