Title: USAF Band...Flash Mob at the Smithsonian...too cool 4 school!
Post by: Steve Helmick on December 13, 2013, 07:41:35 PM: You can't not like this, especially this time of year, and with the Spirit of St. Louis, X-15 and Wright Flyer in the background. I've been to the Smithsonian, about 64 years ago. All I remember was dinosaur bones and falling down the steps and getting a scowl from one of the guards. LL~ Steve

But I'm also wondering how The Supremes (court) cannot swing into action and ban the US Military Bands from playing Christian classics but force them to play Moslem jingles. VD~ Steve

Their Band uniforms are much better from years past, but I just can't get used to the new E-7 through E-9 stripes.
Used to be triple rockers & two chevrons for Chief, now it's three chevrons and two rockers (in addition to the Buck Sgt. stripes)

Like David, John (Doc) and Jack, this brought tears to my eyes and goose bumps galore. Simply angelic.

Post by: Wayne J. Buran on December 14, 2013, 06:29:44 PM: I picked up that Flash Mob last week on one of my USAF forums. Made me very proud to be a USAF vet. Tears without a doubt but an outsanding performance. I questioned also why the PC Police haven't had a **** fit about the bands selections. Great musicians in that band.
Thanks wayne

Post by: Bob Hudak on December 15, 2013, 12:51:02 PM: Excellent video! Got my eyes damp too. But I couldn't help wondering if Government cutbacks will bring an end to future performances by the Air Force Band.

Post by: Elwyn Aud on December 15, 2013, 07:21:36 PM: Wonderful stuff. I teared up a bit also. The choir was a nice surprise. I can't remember the name of the first song though. Must be CRS.
Think I got it now. "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring"
