A religious facility is an authorized site for a public concert, when the event is of community-wide interest, non-sectarian, and broadly promoted. USAFE Band concerts must not be part of a religious service. A USAFE Band performance in a religious facility does not imply federal endorsement of any particular religion or ideology.
