PITTSBURG, Calif - The United States Air Force Concert Band and Singing Sergeants performed for over 1,500 community members in Hayward and Pittsburg, Calif., Oct. 12-13, 2012.
“We are here to bring the Air Force to you; to get your community and our Air Force, our military, together to build and strengthen partnerships,” said 2nd Lt. Peter Folliard, officer in charge, Singing Sergeants.
