The Air Force Band of the West

Tonight I went to the concert performed by the Air Force Band of the West http://www.depts.ttu.edu/museumttu/pdfs/USAF%20Band%202014.pdf  at the Texas Tech Museum .  Ostensibly, this was a Veteran's Day celebration.

I have been to several concerts at the museum over that last couple of years. For the first couple of concerts, the museum grossly under-estimated the seating needs, and was ill prepared to bring in extra chairs.

For this concert, the museum had over estimated the seating.  Having said that, there was a very good crowd, and we were very appreciative of the band, including giving them more than one standing ovation.

This was a very good concert.  It was a blatant commercial for recruiting to the armed services, but that is what I would expect. The caliber of the performance far out-weighed the marketing message.
