5th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
The travelling show’s program manager, Johnny Stewart,
said the cast will bring with it a 13-foot-high, 28-foot-wide,
high-resolution LED video wall, which will set a background of images
portraying Army life as the group performs.
This year’s cast, which began its tour at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, April 19 and makes its way to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Aug. 10 for a one-time-only performance, is the first to have the use of such state-of-the-art equipment.
“The show is getting more and more technical each year and is becoming more and more advanced,” Stewart said.
This year’s performance, inspired by Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Raymond T. Odierno’s message praising the Army and its Families and communities, is paying tribute to the sacrifices of not only Soldiers, but the support systems that stand behind them.
“It takes more than just a Soldier,” Stewart said. “It takes a Family, and it takes a community; everybody plays a part. “It drives the Army’s message home more than ever.”
The show, which will play for more than 30 installations around the
U.S. and Japan in its five-month tour, emphasizes qualities and
characteristics, like resilience, that are commonly indicative of
Soldiers, their Families and the Army society as a whole.
The cast will perform renditions of songs from all genres and ages, including music by singer Etta James, rapper Pitbull, pop artist Kelly Clarkson and contemporary group LMFAO.
Stewart said Soldiers interested in joining the Soldier Show team as technicians need not worry about their level of relative experience.
“It’s more about having an interest in something,” he said. “We can train you to be an audio technician. It’s just a desire to be involved in it (that matters).”
Those interested in becoming technicians with the show can contact Stewart via e-mail at johnny.e.stewart.naf@mail.mil for more information.
The group will perform for the JBLM community at 5 p.m., Aug. 10 at Evergreen Theater.
