The Chippewa Herald - 1/10/2022

Jan. 10—The United States Air Force Band of Mid-America's Airlifter Brass ensemble will present a concert at the Heyde Center for the Arts in Chippewa Falls on Saturday, Jan. 29, at 7:30 pm.

Admission is free and open to the public for this family-friendly, all-ages event. Masks are required.

"Having bands like this play around here is really important," Chippewa Falls-based United States Army Veteran Andrew Cunningham said. "Especially with COVID, this kind of thing doesn't happen around here very often, so it's cool to see."

Airlifter Brass is a brass quintet with percussion known for their versatility and outstanding musicianship. They perform every genre of music from traditional brass quintet repertoire and original arrangements of patriotic favorites to jazz standards and pop tunes. Whether rendering honor to America's troops through ceremonial support, inspiring future generations through recruiting efforts, or connecting with our public through community concerts, each Airlifter Brass performance is thoughtfully planned for a blend of inspiration and entertainment.
