U.S. AIR FORCE BAND OF THE GOLDEN WEST Photography with the Leica M10P Safari

I had the amazing opportunity to shadow ‪@bruceherwig‬, leader of the Volunteer Photography Team for the Redlands Bowl. On this particular evening we photographed a performance by the U.S. Air Force Band of the Golden West. Stills taken with the Leica M10P, Leica APO Summicron M 50mm, and Voigtlander 90mm f/2.8 Color-Skopar. Footage recorded with a GoPro Hero 10.
The Redlands Bowl - in its 100th season - holds the distinction of being America’s longest continuously running summer music festival where no admission is charged (redlandsbowl.org).
The mission of the USAF Band of the Golden West is to:
HONOR our nation and those who have served by enhancing the reputation of the United States and the Air Force through musical excellence
INSPIRE patriotism and resiliency in our Airmen, Guardians, and in our nations' citizens, through engagements designed to strengthen resolve, increase morale and mission readiness, and aid recruiting initiatives
CONNECT with the American public and vital regional and national partners, leveraging the power of music to build trust, strengthen bonds, and create positive, lasting impressions of the United States and the Air Force as we advocate for our nation's and Air Mobility Command's strategic defense priorities

The Redlands Bowl is so beautiful, and I loved seeing a little behind the scenes action. Another great episode!
