Sometimes, you never know when carrying a camera can come in handy. This was the case this afternoon, when members of the U.S Fleet Forces Band stopped by the Hampton Roads Naval Museum and the USS Wisconsin (BB-64). Band members met Zach Smyers, one of the museum educators, for an impromptu photo opportunity, and a chance to sing a special greeting filmed via a selfie-stick. We were told the greeting was sent for a special fan, which will no-doubt bring a smile.
The U.S Fleet Forces Band’s Wind Ensemble, known as the Finest in the Fleet, is the musical representative for Commander, U.S Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia. The U.S Fleet Forces Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Lt. Robert J. Coates; and their performing ensemble Four Star Edition, under the direction of Musician First Class Chris Pastin, performed at the City of Norfolk’s Town Pointe Park on July 4, 2018. Their performance was the feature of the 36th Annual 4th of July Great American Picnic and Fireworks Display.
The Hampton Roads Naval Museum is one of ten Navy museums that are operated by the Naval History & Heritage Command. It celebrates the long history of the U.S Navy in the Hampton Roads Region, and is co-located with Nauticus in Downtown Norfolk, Virginia. Admission to the museum is free, simply by-pass the ticket line and take the stairs or elevator to the museum on the second deck.
