It’s all a part of Navy Week. The Navy Band Southeast performed songs for the students; and after singing along, the students learned more about what the Navy does.

”So when you see the expression and the excitement in their face, we know that it’s real, we know that it’s true,” said Emily Kershaw, U.S. Navy musician, second class. “So for them to see a uniformed presence, even a band, it’s amazing for us. They love the music, for one, but they also love learning about the Navy.”

The Navy’s Blue Angels will be part of the Defenders of Liberty Air & Space Show at Barksdale Air Force Base this weekend (March 25-26).
