The U.S. Air Force (USAF) Band of Mid-America’s ensemble Starlifter is set to perform at Central College.

Guy Blair helped organize the event, and tells KNIA/KRLS News the seven-piece group will feature a wide range of genres, including rock, pop, jazz, and country.

“They’ve just been in great demand, both here and abroad,” Blair says.

He says his daughter, Staff Sergeant Brenna Hyatt, plays in a different ensemble with the USAF Band of Mid-America, which is how he became involved with organizing the event. The free concert will be held at Douwstra Auditorium on Thursday, September 10th at 7:30 p.m.
