    A video paints a thousand pictures Fanfare changes tack Spotlight on MUC William Edwards III llow me to be the first to welcome you to our new Fanfare! From now on, Fanfare will arrive in your mailbox twice a Ayear. We’ll be sending information about upcoming per- formances and where we will be, separately. This will allow us to provide more in-depth stories and a new feature on the work done by our bands out in the fleet. Whether through music, imagery, video or articles, we’re always looking for new ways to reach more people, and to connect Americans with their Navy. We had a busy summer! June 5 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, one of the greatest naval battles the world has ever witnessed and a critical turning point in the Pacific during World War II. Navy bands supported commemoration events around the world. We even sent musicians to Midway Atoll, where a bugler and vocalist from the U.S. Pacific Fleet Band participated in a globally-broadcast ceremony. Inspired by the “Greatest Generation,” our Sailors and civilians carry on that legacy of adaptation and resilience. Believe it or not, we’re already nearing the end of 2017. It’s been a great year, and we anticipate an even greater 2018. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at one of our concerts. Kenneth C.

  • Port Authority: the Soul of the Navy Band Country
    PORT AUTHORITY: THE SOUL OF THE NAVY BAND COUNTRY CURRENT TURNS 45 SPOTLIGHT ON MASTER CHIEF MUSICIAN KEVIN DINES t’s been an incredibly productive and rewarding couple of months for the Navy Band and Navy Music to kick off 2018. The Concert Band toured 12 states, performing in 21 cities and covering nearly 5,000 miles. IThe Sea Chanters wowed audiences in three states on their national tour. Already we’ve had Navy bands connecting with people all over the world, including a historic visit by the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson with the U.S. 7th Fleet Band to Da Nang, Vietnam. It’s awe inspiring to witness the great work our musicians do each and every day telling our Navy’s story. Our Music in the Schools program is headed in an exciting new direction. In this issue, Chief Musician Randy Johnson talks about our first adventure taking our educational outreach programs into schools around the world, thanks to a partnership with Defense Media Activity. Reaching out to young people and showing them the benefits of hard work and dedication is always a highlight for us. In May, we’ll be celebrating the 45th anniversary of Country Current with a special concert featuring former members of the group at Schlesinger Hall in Alexandria, Virginia. Country Current, always a crowd favorite, mixes flawless country and bluegrass playing with a down-to-earth performance style that never ceases to impress. We’re all looking forward to this opportunity to celebrate the decades of service this group has given our Navy.
