U.S. Air Force Band of Flight visits Buffalo, performs at Naval Park

The 15-member band from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base — just outside Dayton, Ohio — performed for guests in the park's Hangar Building.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The U.S. Air Force Band of Flight provided some live music Saturday at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park.

The 15-member band traveled from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base — just outside Dayton, Ohio — to perform for guests in the park's Hangar Building.

Melissa Lackore, a technical sergeant with the U.S. Air Force, talked with 2 On Your Side about the trip.

"Their main mission is to support the air museum that is there, and so we're basically doing a very similar set that they would do there at the air museum," Lackore said. "Every hour, at the top of the hour, they're performing a half-hour set to entertain the people who are coming through there."

Sunday, Nov. 24 is the last day of the season for the Buffalo Naval Park.

"It is our sincere hope that their music will inspire our visitors and honor our military members," Paul Marzello, the president and CEO of the Buffalo Naval Park, said of the performances.
