USAREUR Winds Perform Outreach Tour in Israel
By SGT Andrew Tryon
US Army Europe Band and Chorus
The tour continued with two educational outreach concerts in Jerusalem. The first performance was at a Jewish Orthodox school, where many of the students had never been introduced to classical music. The students were very interested in the new experience and asked lots of question about the music and the instruments. The second event consisted of performances for high school and college students at the Fine Arts Academy. The USAREUR Winds played many wind quintet standards and fielded questions ranging from music to military life.
The tour concluded with two performances in support of the Juniper Cobra joint training exercise. The USAREUR Winds performed ceremonial music during the closing ceremony and light music during the reception following. The USAREUR Winds were recognized by both the Israeli and United States Air Forces during the ceremony.
