USAF Band to perform at Liberty Theater

USAF Band of the Golden West: Commanders Jazz Ensemble will perform on March 17 at 2 p.m. General admission is free at The Liberty Theater, 1203 Commercial Street, Astoria.

Under the direction of Technical Sergeant Marco Munoz, The Commanders Jazz Ensemble carries on the American musical tradition of the great traveling big bands, yet offers a lot more than the big band sounds. This energetic group of 20 highly-trained professional airmen-musicians offers an entertaining show.

Touring the western states of Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Washington, the US Air Force Band of the Golden West has performed for thousands of listeners in live concerts and millions worldwide via its numerous recordings and television and radio broadcasts.

The only active-duty Air Force band west of the Rockies, the Band of the Golden West is dedicated to using the power of music to inspire Air Force members and the great nation they serve, producing innovative musical programs and products, and communicating Air Force excellence.

This performance is free and open to the public. No ticket needed. A full house is expected, so arrive early. Canned food donations for the Clatsop County Regional Food Bank will be collected at this event.
