Honor Flights

Association of Concert Bands encourages member bands to play Honor Flight Network departures or arrivals in nearby cities. To further assist with this mission, Jerry Brubaker, former U.S. Navy band arranger, has arranged medium easy arrangements of the five major service songs in stand-alone versions available to ACB member bands for use in Honor Flight Ceremonies.
