Air Force group offers free Coliseum show Wednesday

Tops In Blue, the Air Force’s premier expeditionary entertainment team, is scheduled to give a free public performance on Wednesday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi.

Doors open to the public at 6:30 p.m., and there’s no charge for parking.

This year’s theme is “What’s Love?” featuring the music of Tina Turner, Huey Lewis, Barry White, the Temptations, Trisha Yearwood, Alan Jackson, Celine Dion, Rod Stewart, and Kelly Clarkson. The performance combines music with special-effects lighting, costumes and precision choreography.

Tops In Blue serves as an expeditionary entertainment team, providing quality entertainment from within Air Force resources for the Air Force family, with priority to Air Force personnel stationed worldwide at remote and deployed locations.

The performance team also promotes community relations and supports recruiting efforts, while serving as ambassadors of the United States of America and the United States Air Force. The 35 vocalists, musicians
and dancers are all active-duty Air Force members who competed in base talent competitions to earn their spots with the group.

Since the group’s beginnings in 1953, Air Force Tops In Blue performers have performed more than 7,000 shows, including six World Fairs, more than 100 state fairs and festivals, as well as at Super Bowls, the Daytona 500 and on six Bob Hope specials.
