PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. --  Twelve energetic pre-school students from the Peterson Air Force Base Child Development Center recently experienced live music compliments of the U.S. Air Force Academy Band! 

Master Sgt. Cheryl Sizer, NCO in charge of the concert band, led the 4- and 5-year old students in a tour of all band facilities, introduced them to several musicians, and let them see many of the band's missions in action. 

The students listened and danced while visiting a Falconaires Jazz Ensemble rehearsal. Sergeant Sizer then led the kids in to the band's recording control room where Master Sgt. Dan Kenemore explained the process of editing music for upcoming television shows. 

The students then visited the equipment warehouse, library, and command section. At every stop, they were able to hear, touch, and experience the instruments and equipment the band uses to bring the Air Force message to audiences throughout the world. 

Each of the four pre-school classes at the Peterson CDC go on a weekly field trip during the summer. 

Any unit within walking distance of the CDC is encouraged to call the CDC at 719-554-9572 to invite a great group of kids to visit and see the various missions of Peterson AFB.
