Air Force Group To Perform July 20

Thu., June 22, 2000

The U.S. Air Force’s amateur entertainment group Tops in Blue is offering a performance at the Spokane Opera House at 7 p.m. July 20.

The performance is free and open to the public, but the show’s popularity requires tickets be issued in advance.

The tickets are available at the Spokane Regional Business Center, 801 W. Riverside, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Tickets can also be obtained by mailing a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Tops in Blue, Spokane Regional Business Center, 801 W. Riverside, Spokane, WA 99201.

Tops in Blue has been touring the world for more than 45 years. This year’s performance is a medley of songs titled “If You Believe.” The 90-minute performance will include various musical styles, including big band, pop, country, rhythm and blues, contemporary, Latin, nostalgic and rock ‘n’ roll.

The 35 active-duty military members in the group will perform 132 shows in the United States and 20 other countries this season.
