Music scene · Air Force Academy

The Air Force Academy is a military installation at the foot of the Rockies where music is tied to cadet life, chapel services, and ceremonial bands. Classical, choral, and patriotic performances fill the calendar, while Colorado Springs area musicians sometimes supplement formal events.

Music happens in the chapel, cadet theater, ballroom, and parade field. Local community centers and churches near the academy gates also host small concerts and holiday programs.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Colorado Springs scene occasionally passing through.

Cadets and residents should join chapel choirs, audition for ceremonial bands, and connect with Colorado Springs community ensembles for additional performance experience.
