U.S. Air Force Bands inspire, captivate worldwide audience
Capt. Rafael Toro-Quinones, commander and conductor of the United States Air Force Band of the Golden West, Travis Air Force Base, Calif., directs the U.S. Air Force Heritage of America Band to play “There’s No Business Like Show Business” during a USAF HOAB 75th Anniversary Band Concert at the Ferguson Center for the Arts in Newport News, Va., Oct. 1, 2016. Toro-Quinones was the former USAF HOAB conductor from 2009 to 20011. The USAF HOAB was one of the original Army Air Corps bands, created by order of the Secretary of War on October 1, 1941 and assigned to Barksdale Field, Louisiana. In June 1946, after being assigned to Brooks Field, Texas, the band arrived at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, its current home. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Nick Wilson)
