A public Concert for Jazz in the Parks featuring the Falconaires at 6:00pm in Acacia Park. The “Falconaires,” premier jazz band of the Air force Academy take their name from the mascot of the Cadet Wing. One of the Air Force’s two premier jazz ensembles, the Falconaires have brought the great sounds of Big Band Jazz to national audiences for more than 50 years. This group of 18 full-time jazz musicians specializes in the best of past, present, and future by performing traditional and contemporary big band jazz. To this mix, “Falc” members add their own compositions and fresh orchestrations. The band regularly appears at prestigious events such as the International Association of Jazz Educators’ National Conference, the Music Educators National Conference’s National Convention, and Musicfest Canada. Falconaires members are some of the most sought-after clinicians in America. A driving force in the jazz world, The Air Force Academy Bands’ Falconaires play a major role in cultivating our national heritage through its only indigenous musical genre, jazz.
