Whether it was “When the saints go marching in,” My girl” or “Stand by me,” the high-energy performances of the U.S. Navy “Topside Brass Band” at the “Almond Blossom Festival” were a memorable success!
As part of the annual ten-day Festival celebrating cultural diversity, our Consulate arranged for an ensemble of seven Navy Band musicians to perform during the International Folklore Festival in Agrigento, Sicily March 7-10. The festival featured 20 groups of artists, musicians and dancers, representing 17 different countries of Europe, Africa, Asia and South-America.
