Col. Kenneth Johnson, 49th Operations Group commander at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., speaks before the opening ceremony at a Tops in Blue performance at the Tays Center June 1. The 35 members of Tops in Blue serve as an expeditionary entertainment unit to provide quality entertainment for the U.S. Air Force family while simultaneously promoting community relations, supporting recruiting efforts, and serving as ambassadors for the U.S. Air Force. The vocalists, musicians, dancers and technicians in the Tops in Blue 2012 tour are scheduled to perform more than 120 shows in 20 different countries this year. Each year, Air Force personnel stationed worldwide compete in a multilevel competition for the opportunity to be selected as a member of the unique unit. The Tops in Blue team is an all active duty Air Force special unit made up of talented performers selected for their entertainment abilities. Since its first world tour in 1953, the group has also performed on film, produced albums, and appeared on national television. This year's performance featured songs by The Doobie Brothers, Earth, Wind & Fire, Whitney Houston, Maroon 5, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, The Zac Brown Band, as well as a tribute to the late Michael Jackson.
