WORK, WORK! | The United States Air Force Band wishes all of you a Happy Labor Day!

Leading up to 1894 when it became an official federal holiday, trade unions and labor movements from over 30 states proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate labor and it is now celebrated annually on the first Monday of September. In fact, the very first labor parade was organized in New York City - "In the greatest city in the world!"

We hope you enjoy this 2025 throwback to our collaboration with Renée Elise Goldsberry on "The Schuyler Sisters" from Hamilton, as we express our appreciation for all of your amazing "minds at work, work!"

This morning we learned that King Harald V of Norway passed away at the age of 89. Our thoughts are with our Norwegian allies as they honor and mourn King Harald of House of Glücksburg after a distinguished reign of 35 years.

With the King's passing, the 2026 Norwegian Military Tattoo Forsvarets musikk has also been canceled and the U.S. Air Force Band will not be traveling to Oslo this week to perform. We hope to have the opportunity to perform at the tattoo someday in the future.

To honor King Harald V, we offer this performance of the Largo from Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 in E minor. Several years after the work was premiered by the New York Philharmonic, one of Dvorak's students, William Arms Fisher, wrote lyrics to the tune of the solo:

“Goin’ home, Goin’ home, I’m a goin’ home;
Quiet-like, some still day, I’m jes’ goin’ home.
It’s not far, jes’ close by,
Through an open door;
Work all done, care laid by, Goin’ to fear no more.
Mother’s there ‘spectin me,
Father’s waitin’ too;
Lots o’ folk gather’d there,
All the friends I knew,
All the friends I knew. Home, I’m goin’ home!”

(Filmed in 2020)

Today we mourn the loss of an American icon, the incomparable Dolly Parton.

Dolly's impact through her music, kindness, and philanthropy has shaped so much of American culture and we wish to pay homage with this performance of her song, "Light of a Clear Blue Morning."

Performed by the Singing Sergeants, may this special arrangement serve as a reminder that even in the most challenging times, better days lie ahead. In the words of Dolly, "Everything's gonna be alright."

"Light of a Clear Blue Morning"

FROM THIS MOMENT ON | This American Songbook classic comes from the pen of legendary American composer and songwriter Cole Porter. “From This Moment On” was written for Porter’s 1948 musical "Kiss Me, Kate" and has since become a popular standard in the jazz repertoire.

The Airmen of Note featured this selection as part of our Sammy Nestico tribute earlier this year during the 2026 Jazz Heritage Series. Nestico was a foundational leader and arranger for the Airmen of Note, making significant contributions to the ensemble’s development and enduring legacy. Please enjoy Technical Sgt. Clara Campbell singing this beloved tune with the 'Note!

WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY DAY 📸 | August 19th is World Photography Day and we're celebrating by sharing photos from our missions over the last year! First observed in 1991, the efforts of Indian photographer, O.P Sharma, Australian entrepreneur Korske Ara, and North American producer, John Morzen, have culminated in what is now a global celebration. This day is marked annually by events, workshops, photo walks and of course, people sharing their photography and what it means to them.

The old adage, "A picture is worth a thousand words," continues to ring true and we're grateful for our civilian and servicemember photographers who capture powerful moments of service, diplomacy, and connection with every shot.

Got a favorite photo of us? Feel free to share and tag us !
