ANG Band of the Midwest kicks off summer tour
U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Amy Layhew and Master Sgt. Douglas Mattsey, instrumentalists with the Air National Guard Band of the Midwest, perform during the band's annual summer concert series June 30, 2013. Audiences can expect a world-class show with exciting and dynamic music, all while hearing the story of the ANG and the hometown heroes who serve in it, said commander and trumpet player Maj. Bryan Miller. The annual concert series is the result of a year’s worth of training and practice, one that the band uses to celebrate patriotism with communities across the Midwest.
