00:00.503 --> 00:02.920
(rock music)

00:08.105 --> 00:09.643
(marching band music)

00:09.643 --> 00:12.726
- I was in the military for 26 years.

00:13.605 --> 00:16.022
(jazz music)

00:17.586 --> 00:21.753
^When I first came in in 1967, we had a much smaller band.

00:24.113 --> 00:25.811
^We only had 35 members,

00:25.811 --> 00:29.978
and we wouldn't play as much music as they do now.

00:30.176 --> 00:33.009
Nowadays, the band has 60 members.

00:33.375 --> 00:35.792
(jazz music)

00:37.416 --> 00:39.449
Once I retired from the Air Force,

00:39.449 --> 00:43.449
came to work here in 1994, and I've been working

00:44.391 --> 00:47.641
with this organization ever since then.

00:49.463 --> 00:52.072
I enjoy my job every day, sometimes

00:52.072 --> 00:56.041
it gets a little disturbing like anyone else's job,

00:56.041 --> 00:57.922
but I like things like that,

00:57.922 --> 01:00.182
I like to be able to solve problems

01:00.182 --> 01:02.140
or to help other people solve problems.

01:02.140 --> 01:03.266
That's what I like the most.

01:03.266 --> 01:05.683
(jazz music)

01:07.286 --> 01:09.536
I love my active duty time,

01:09.914 --> 01:11.741
and I love my civil service time.

01:11.741 --> 01:14.158
(jazz music)

01:16.454 --> 01:19.225
I enjoy working for the Air Force Band

01:19.225 --> 01:23.392
and how much I've enjoyed being a bandsman for 50 years.

01:23.511 --> 01:25.928
