Recollections
The United States Air Force Band is continually working to expand our archives and capture details of the historic music made throughout the years. "Recollections" premiered last month as a new feature in the Cadenza to enlist your help in this process. Each month we will include a photo, or collection of photos, where we welcome your memories and recollections. Please take a moment to reflect on the photographs shown here. If you have any insight as to who is in them, when or where they were taken, or any stories you can share about the event, please email Band Historian Technical Sgt. Tracey MacDonald at USAFBandHistorian@afncr.af.mil. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!
