United States Army Field Band Concert

Yesterday, we went to see the U.S. Army Field Band at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theater.  We had to wait a little while because we got there early. Before the show started, the soldier/musicians handed out souvenirs and I got ear buds. The Eastman Theater has a huge glass chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and it has balcony seats. For some reason, there were trap doors too, with golden flowers on them. There were many fancy paintings on the wall. The paintings on the walls had a lot of different colors. The soldiers’ uniforms looked nice. The uniforms were blue and had golden stripes at the end of the sleeves. It was very loud, and there was a lot of clapping and shouting and cheering during the concert. There was a lot of excitement in the air. There were at least 100 musicians on the stage, and the band played all types of music. The musicians had many different types of instruments too. My favorite song is Armed Forces salute. It is my favorite because the band leader called out a branch of the military, and all the people from that branch stood up.  There is another song I liked, called Let Freedom Ring. You can download the songs at ArmyFieldBand .com.  It was my first time at The Eastman Theater.
