JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. --  On Feb. 25, the Concert Band and Singing Sergeants will perform at the 2011 New Jersey Music Educators Association (NJMEA) Convention at the Brunswick Hilton and Towers in East Brunswick, N.J. The concert, which is free and open to the public, begins at 8 p.m. The program will also feature members of the NJMEA All-State Band--a collection of the most outstanding high school band musicians in the state of New Jersey--in conjunction with The U.S. Air Force Band.

The mission of NJMEA is for the advancement of music instruction in New Jersey's educational institutions at all levels, providing in-service and enrichment opportunities for practicing and retired teachers and prospective music educators, as well as sponsoring various festivals and all-state performing groups. The NJMEA believes that the finest possible education in music should be available to every student in the state and that every student should have an equal opportunity to study music.

It will be a privilege for The U.S. Air Force Band to represent the very best of the United States Air Force to the hundreds of students, educators and administrators at this year's NJMEA convention.
