Subject: USAFB Concert 10-21-07

This past Sunday evening I saw the USAFB perform here in Milwaukee. The first time I have seen them in about 40 years, having seen them but once in the late 60s shortly after I left the Band. Friends, the magic is still there. A great performance, a fine program. Dare I say that the whole production struck me as being quite a bit more professional than it was back then. Not to knock the Band when I was with it, but times have progressed and it just seemed to be less "slapped together at the last minute" than it used to be. In other words, I was very impressed, and very proud of them. I appreciated being introduced from the stage as a past Band member. A good portion of the ensemble was female. No females in the Band back when. Probably means a whole lot less scratching and belching at rehearsals now. No, I never blew a note for the Band, but was the Information Officer in 1965-66. Booked three tours for the Band, and probably never will be forgiven for the flea-bag hotel I booked in Miles City, Montana.
