10/25/2012 - SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- Members
from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., were rocking and rolling
when the Air Combat Command band The Blues Aces, held a concert at the
base's youth center, Oct. 17.
The Blue Aces performed two 45-minute sets with songs from artists such as Michael Jackson and Maroon 5.
"I think the kids really enjoyed having the Blue Aces come out and
perform for them today," said Jasmine Carroll, 4th Force Support
Squadron youth programs chief. "This is the first time a live band has
come out to play and the kids had a great time. They got to get up and
dance and a few of the children got to perform themselves."
Members of Team Seymour filled the youth center gym to enjoy the performance.
"The energy was phenomenal," said Tech. Sgt. Niko Ellison, Blue Aces
vocalist. "We love playing in front of the kids because they give us so
much love back."
After playing, the band took photos and signed autographs for fans.
"It was really awesome to see these kids out here enjoying themselves
like that," said Tech. Sgt. Bennett Weidemann, Blue Aces drummer. "I
love performing, and I absolutely love playing for the kids."
The concert offered an opportunity for families to come together, enjoy music and have a good time.
"This is a great event for the families," said Lt. Col. Charles Parada,
4th FSS commander. "One of our key missions is to regenerate not only
the Airmen, but their families as well. The kids got to come out and see
a live band which is awesome. It's a great experience for the whole
community."
