The patriotic, family-oriented program features music ranging from Broadway tunes to Grammy-winning songs.
The group makes a tour of major Air Force installations and will also play later this year in more than 27 foreign countries, including 14 in Eastern Europe. "Tops in Blue" has played at Disneyland, Disney World and the Super Bowl in past years.
