Some Good News On Efforts To Save Military Music
It’s time for another update on current efforts to help block a proposed funding amendment in the 2017 Defense Appropriations bill designed to gut military music programs. If you’ve been keeping up with what has been going on, you already know that the latest step in the process was to get the amendment removed from the Senate version of the bill (if this is new to you, start here to get up to speed).

It’s especially poignant to see this coming from the USAF seeing that the amendment’s sponsor, Rep. McSally, is a retired USAF Colonel and made waves for publicly denigrating military bands and belittling their soldier musicians because she finds their contribution to the armed services as having no value to defense. It’s especially nice to see the video begin […]
