Did you know that 160 professional musicians serve in the U.S. Air Force Band? These airmen gathered at the Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. They stood under the wings of the Space Shuttle Discovery to remember George Michael. They performed his famous song, “Last Christmas.”
Technical Sergeant Julia Brundage led the band with her strong voice. She wore her formal blue uniform while she sang for the crowd. The band did not use electronic sounds for this song. Instead, they used loud brass instruments to give the music a very grand feel. This mix of military skill and pop music was a wonderful holiday gift.
