On March 20, 2009, the Band was proud to host children and their parents from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The children were given a tour of Bolling Air Force Base that culminated in a luncheon concert presented by chamber groups from the various units of the Band. In this photo, Technical Sgt. Joe Haughton shares music tips with the children. Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has been enriching the lives of children with threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. It was with great pride that the men and women of the United States Air Force Band could spend some time with these amazing children!
