The Air Force Band performs on June 7 at 8:00 p.m. at the Air Force Memorial in Arlington Va. It’s the first in a series of 13 performances scheduled through August at the memorial as part of the band’s broader 2013 Summer Concert Series. The concerts at the memorial take place each Friday during that span with one exception: in the first week of July, the show will be held on Thursday, July 4, not Friday, July 5. The start time is 8:00 p.m. for each performance. Click here for information on transportation, including free trolley service, to the June 7 event. There’s also a pre-concert dinner/parking option at the Sheraton Pentagon City.
