US Navy Band of the Sixth Fleet
US Navy band flies in from Italy.
The Band of the Sixth Fleet, US Navy, is based in Naples in Italy and is making a special trip to Cornwall to appear in the main ring on the Friday and Saturday.
Welcoming the news, show secretary Chris Riddle said:
“Music – and especially big band military music – is very much a part of the Royal Cornwall Show tradition. To welcome this band will be a pleasure. I am sure they will add something very special to the main ring programme.”
The ceremonial band supports official military and civilian functions in everyday life and has a full programme of appearances at a variety of civil and public functions all over Europe.
Members of the band also play in a jazz ensemble, Dixieland band and a brass quintet.
These musicians are nothing if not versatile!
