The United States Air Force Band, joined by The Singing Sergeants presented a wonderful concert on the campus of Mississippi State. Much of the music presented was what you would expect from a military band, good marches and service songs, all performed to perfection. This band added some other excellent music including a Concerto for Trumpet that was outstanding—and I say that having played the trombone in high school.
What I really found interesting was the Singing Sergeants and the Journey through Oz they performed. Dressed in costume, they performed an arrangement of music based on the three renditions of the L. Frank Baum’s book which include The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz, and Wicked. All-in-all it was a great concert.
