SUMMARY:United States Air Force Band of the West - Free Concert
DESCRIPTION:The USAF Band of the West is a musical organization with an outstanding record of achievement. The Airmen assigned to the band are highly-trained professional musicians who have dedicated themselves to serving their country through music. \nThe USAF Band of the West travels more than 125\,000 miles annually and provides hundreds of performances to military and civilian audiences throughout Texas\, Oklahoma\, Louisiana\, Mississippi\, Alabama\, Georgia\, Florida\, and Puerto Rico. The organization is made up of the large ensembles Concert Band\, Ceremonial Marching Band\, Dimensions in Blue\, and two popular music groups\, Top Flight\, and Velocity.  Small ensembles within the unit include Freedom Brass\, Spectrum Winds\, Mission Winds\, and protocol combos. This diversity enables the USAF Band of the West to perform practically any style of music from classical and country to marches and mambos. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe USAF Band of the West has a long lineage in the United States Air Force. The band was created on October 1st\, 1941 at Moffett Field\, California and moved to Enid Army Airfield soon after. With the birth of the United States Air Force in 1947\, the band moved to what eventually became Lackland Air Force Base. The band was inactivated in 1955 but reactivated in 1959. The title “Band of the West” was used for years until May 1st\, 1997 when it was granted official status. \nIn 2011\, the USAF Band of the West was awarded its sixth Colonel George S. Howard Citation of Musical Excellence for Military Concert Bands. The band received the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for the ninth time in 2012 due to its exemplary contributions to Air Force recruiting and community relations programs. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis performance is free. Tickets are available December 1. Limit 4 per person.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nAll artists\, dates and times subject to change.\n
