00:04.684 --> 00:07.212
^- This is the 31st anniversary of these shows.

00:07.212 --> 00:09.310
^We've been doing them every year.

00:09.310 --> 00:11.123
When the band was a little bit larger,

00:11.123 --> 00:13.755
we were downtown, so the venues have changed,

00:13.755 --> 00:16.832
but our audience members have stayed very faithful.

00:16.832 --> 00:20.017
This year, the title, Sounds of the Season,

00:20.017 --> 00:22.905
honoring the family members of all of those service members

00:22.905 --> 00:26.016
who are away from home at this time of year.

00:26.016 --> 00:27.835
So to put all this together,

00:27.835 --> 00:30.506
we start by unloading our big truck,

00:30.506 --> 00:34.173
and we set it all up very slowly and safely.

00:34.302 --> 00:37.867
We have a fantastic stage and lighting technician,

00:37.867 --> 00:41.199
but it takes roughly 16 hours to put all of this together

00:41.199 --> 00:43.490
to make it look as it does now.

00:43.490 --> 00:45.338
We have a wide variety of music.

00:45.338 --> 00:48.171
We're playing some big band music,

00:48.717 --> 00:51.291
we're playing some traditional classical pieces,

00:51.291 --> 00:53.328
we're playing some of the oldies

00:53.328 --> 00:55.702
and the goodies from the 1940s.

00:55.702 --> 00:58.165
We're also playing some cultural selections,

00:58.165 --> 00:59.915
a few religious ones,

01:00.051 --> 01:02.475
so there is a quite wide range

01:02.475 --> 01:04.545
of diversity in our musical selection.

01:04.545 --> 01:06.424
We hope to not only entertain the audience,

01:06.424 --> 01:10.067
but we also want to showcase the excellence and precision

01:10.067 --> 01:13.162
seen throughout the United States Air Force.
