I HAVE A DREAM | Today, on Martin Luther King Day, we honor the legacy of Dr. King and his message of unity and equality. Join us as we celebrate this important day with The United States Air Force Band and bass vocalist Soloman Howard as they perform the iconic piece "Lift Every Voice and Sing."

This performance is a reminder that music has the ability to bring us together and inspire change.

FUN FACT FRIDAY | In 1952, history was made as Martha (Chave) Stewart became the first female vocalist hired by The United States Air Force Band's Concert Band, marking a significant step towards gender equality in military music. The United States Air Force Band's Singing Sergeants, being the first military chorus to hire women, also played a crucial role in this progress. Today, over 25% of the performing members of The U.S. Air Force Band are female, continuing to break barriers and pave the way for future generations.

Pictured here is Airman Third Class Martha (Chave) Stewart with, (from left to right) Col Robert Miller, Deputy Commander, MPPS, First Army; John Cashmore, President Borough of Brooklyn, NY; and Col Howard. This photo was taken before a concert where Martha was the soprano soloist at Prospect Park on August 20, 1952.

DEPLOYMENT | And they're off! Members of The United States Air Force Band's Singing Sergeants, Senior Master Sgt. Joseph Haughton and Technical Sgts. Nicole Vander Does and Alex Browne, recently began their deployment overseas as part of the AFCENT Band.

The mission of the AFCENT Band is to provide support of morale and welfare of American and Coalition forces through concerts, and to use music as a tool to build bridges and connect people and governments of foreign nations in the Middle East and Southwest Asia, leaving a lasting, positive impression of The United States of America, and those who serve in its name.

Due to the AFCENT Band’s rotation of active-duty musicians, there is always a wide variety of genres and styles of music played by the band.

We are incredibly proud of this group and will be following along with the exciting missions ahead!

LET US REJOICE! 🔔 | Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! "Hallelujah" is a soulful re-imagining of the "Hallelujah" chorus from George Handel's Messiah. Led by Ms. Michelle Fowlin, the Washington Performing Arts Children of the Gospel Choir joined the Singing Sergeants for a joyful rendition of the John Higgins adaptation.

This video comes from our recent Season of Hope performance at DAR's Constitution Hall. The COGC are approaching their 30th anniversary year. They have become the preeminent choir for local students looking to further their excellence in artistry and technique. This powerful presentation also features our U.S. Air Force Concert Band, and displays a passion and jubilance that is sure to tug at your heartstrings!

We especially want to lift up our service members who may be away from home this holiday season. May this rendition of "Hallelujah" lift you up wherever you may be!

Silent Night (Stille Nacht)

SILENT NIGHT 🌙 | On a cold winter's Christmas Eve night, during the early months of World War I, all was jarringly quiet on the Western Front when a British sentry spied a faint gleaming light coming from German trenches. Worried that it might be a trap, British Lieutenant Brewer peeked over the "soaked sandbags protecting his position, and through the maze of barbed wire saw a sparkling Christmas tree." Brewer then noticed a gentle distant sound coming from the other side that he had never heard on the battlefield-- a Christmas carol.

"The German words to 'Stille Nacht' were not familiar, but the tune—'Silent Night'—certainly was. When the German soldiers finished singing, their foes broke out in cheers. Used to returning fire, the British now replied in song with the English version of the carol."

If you thought that was a miracle, something even more miraculous happened. The next morning, on Christmas day, "unarmed German and Allied soldiers tentatively emerged from the trenches and cautiously crossed no-man’s-land—the killing fields between the trenches littered with frozen corpses, eviscerated trees and deep craters—to wish each other a Merry Christmas."

May the closeness of friends, the comfort of home, and the unity of our nation, renew your spirits this festive season. Please enjoy this performance featuring The United States Air Force Band's bass-baritone vocalist, Technical Sgt. Matthew Scollin, first singing the original German verse, followed by English accompanied by the enlisted conductor of the Singing Sergeants, Senior Master Sgt. Taylor Armstrong.

BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY 🎺 | The Andrews Sisters, nicknamed "America's Wartime Sweethearts," performed with an "enthusiasm and positive national spirit," bringing light during the dark and tough times of World War II. They traveled all around the world visiting military posts, hospitals, radios, and rallies, which boosted morale for all who heard and saw them perform. "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" was one of their greatest hits during WWII. The Andrews Sisters wanted to bring a sense of hope, strength, and joy through their music, and they did just that with this hit. Because of their outstanding influence to the military and our great nation, we keep their legacy alive by performing their well-known tunes for our veterans, troops, and the American public. We hope you enjoy this clip by The United States Air Force Band and the women of the Singing Sergeants bringing the 40's back at the United States Air Force’s 75th birthday celebration this past weekend!

The Air Force Song 75th Anniversary Tattoo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, U.S. AIR FORCE! | On September 18, 1947, The United States Air Force officially became its own branch of the United States military. Originally part of the Army, the Air Force as we know it today evolved from The Aeronautical Section, Signal Corps in 1909, Aviation Section Signal Corps in 1914, United States Army Air Service in 1918, United States Army Air Corps in 1926, and the United States Army Air Forces in 1941. Since then, the Air Force has been proud to innovate, accelerate, and thrive, delivering unparalleled air power anywhere in the world. As our birthday tribute, we hope you enjoy this clip of the Air Force Song from the Air Force's 75th Birthday Tattoo last week at Audi Field! Happy 75th birthday to the United States Air Force!

THE AIR FORCE HYMN | On September 15th, as a part of the United States Air Force 75th Anniversary Tattoo, The United States Air Force Band's Singing Sergeants performed "The Air Force Hymn" from the stands above Audi Field conducted by commander and conductor of The United States Air Force Band, Colonel Don Schofield. The text for "The Air Force Hymn" also known as "Lord, Guard and Guide", was written by Scottish born poet, Mary Christian Dundas Hamilton in 1915. It is believed that her nephew, Brigadier James Melville Hamilton might have been the inspiration for the poem. The hymn is set to the tune of "Quebec" also known as "Hesperus" and is credited to Henry Baker (1835-1910). Baker earned a degree in music despite working as a civil engineer. After WWII, the song was adopted by The United States Air Force as its hymn. Tenor soloist: Technical Sgt. Samuel Allen 🎥: The United States Air Force Band

Did you know that before 9/11, most ballparks in professional baseball marked the seventh-inning stretch of the game by playing the crowd sing-along song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"? Ever since the September 11 attacks, many American ballparks now complement or replace the song with the playing of "God Bless America". With so many longing for America's favorite pastime to carry on, we thought we'd share a memory of our recent MLB performance, which just so happened to be yesterday. Please enjoy our very own tenor vocalist Technical Sgt. Matt Hill's rendition of "God Bless America" that helped spur the Washington Nationals to victory!

HALLELUJAH | A cherished song with underlying themes of hardship, love, loss, and redemption, Leonard Cohen's “Hallelujah” is truly open to the listener's interpretation- often moving the audience to tears while simultaneously instilling in them a renewed sense of hope. A crowd favorite on tour, during summer concerts, and even at the White House, The United States Air Force Band’s Singing Sergeants have performed the Pentatonix arrangement of this hit song hundreds of times, and have come to embrace it as their own. We are grateful for the opportunity to share this enigmatic classic with you- turn your sound on, grab a tissue, and please enjoy!

Beautiful Music🙏
Spent 4 years in SAC ( '66 - '70 )and never saw them in person but makes me proud of our mutual USAF connection!
Dear Friends,

During the pandemic, I began to reflect on the many amazing experiences I've had as a choral singer. It led me to the idea of creating a new anthology that will celebrate the soul-stirring choral experiences we have as singers and conductors. I am thrilled to share news about the new choral anthology project, for which I will serve as editor and author. The book will contain inspiring, humorous, and heartwarming stories from the global choral community about choral music’s impact on our lives. You are invited to read more about the project and share your story at www.choralplanet.com. The submission period closes on August 7, 2021. There is no fee to submit your story, and a small stipend (and a copy of the book) will be offered for each story selected. Please help me to spread the word. Stay safe and have a wonderful summer!
A GREAT memory of 2020!

Opportunity for Veterans!
New Musicals Inc (NMI) is adapting veteran's stories into ten-minute musicals to be filmed as part of a web-series to honor veterans.
Veterans whose stories are selected for development will receive a $1000 honorarium and hold on to the rights of their stories.
Don't let the "musical" aspect dissuade you. NMI just needs a compelling story from your military background – just one story – not a compilation -- and they will bring a composer, lyricist, and professional actor together to turn it into song. They will also welcome you into the collaboration process if you want to be included on the creative side.
See the link for info and a very short video that explains the project. Deadline is November 20.
www.nmi.org/veterans
This is positively beautiful and carries a great message.
