Fresh off playing for the nation at the interment of Ronald Reagan at the Reagan Library 2 weeks ago, the USAF Band Golden West showed their stuff in a 2-part concert. The first half concentrating on big-band era tunes, with the second half a patriotic salute to the good ol' USA. The band is tight, sharp, and as good as any 60-piece band I've ever heard. They were terrific!
The crowd was mostly older folks, but that was OK. It was quite festive and I really enjoyed the nearly 2-hour show. I highly recommend taking in a few of the upcoming shows. Come early and grab a spot in the shade, though. The shows start at 7pm, and the sun doesn't really get behind the trees and the stage until about 7:45, leaving a lot of the area in the sun.
