Kicking off the week's events will be Air Force Day at the Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees game at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx (4:05 p.m., tickets are required). The Ceremonial Brass will take the field during pregame to treat the crowd to a highly inspiring selection of patriotic music.

Featured along with Max Impact at the Intrepid Museum will be demonstrations and meet & greet opportunities with a number of Air Force professionals from a variety of fields, including military working dog demonstrations, United States Air Force Academy Falcon demonstrations, Air Force Thunderbirds crews, medical professionals, cyber and space professionals, pilots and missile operators, explosive ordinance disposal teams and security forces teams.

On Sunday, August 19 at the Intrepid Museum, the Ceremonial Brass will perform for the official Air Force Week opening ceremonies from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.

Max impact will also perform their exciting brand of rock and pop music at the South Street Seaport (located where Fulton Street meets the East River in Manhattan) on Tuesday, August 21 at 3 p.m. The performance will culminate with a thrilling performance by the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard Drill Team.
