2014 Holiday Flash Mob - The USAF Band at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling

Video by Master Sgt. Brian Davis

Disguised as a special holiday kick-off event, The U.S. Air Force Band surprised the visitors of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center on Tuesday, Dec. 2, with another innovative flash mob.
Unsuspecting museum visitors were quickly surrounded by instrumentalists and vocalists as they filled the Boeing Aviation Hangar with holiday music. Fittingly, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, one of the museum's most popular attractions, served as the backdrop for this performance.

Led by The U.S. Air Force Band's commander and conductor, Col. Larry H. Lang, this year's performance brought together more than 100 Airmen musicians from the Band's six performing ensembles offering renditions of "Greensleeves" and "Carol of the Bells." The flash mob was a follow up to the group's surprise performance last year at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. After the success of that viral video, The U.S. Air Force Band decided to expand on that concept and once again partner with
the Smithsonian. More
