The United States Air Force Band, though over 70 years old, is the youngest of the Washington, D.C.-based military bands. It has made numerous recordings, appeared frequently on radio and television broadcasts, and given countless concerts at home and abroad.
The USAFB was founded on September 24, 1941, with Alf Heiberg serving as commander and conductor. Initially, the ensemble consisted of four players, but grew to 48 within its first year and steadily improved its musicianship thereafter. Heiberg was succeeded by George S. Howard in 1943.
Howard led the band on its first major tour (six Canadian cities), in 1944, formed an auxiliary symphony orchestra in the postwar era, helped establish the regular hour-long radio show The Air Force Hour, and increased the band's resources to include a 100-piece marching band, an 85-piece concert ensemble, and a 90-piece symphony orchestra. The band also had a 25-member glee club and other smaller offshoots.
Tours of Europe in the early and mid-'50s were great successes, as were the Far East tours in 1956-1957...more
