The U.S. Air Force's Tops In Blue musical entertainment group is offering a free night of family entertainment at the Chester Fritz Auditorium June 22 at 7 p.m. 

This year's show, titled "The Fly-By," is part of the 2007 Tops In Blue World Performance tour. The performance continues its long-standing tradition of "family entertaining family." This year's tour commemorates the Air Force's 60th anniversary and is a mixture of music, lights, dance and historical video footage highlighting the last 60 years of Air Force history. Combine all that with the dazzling lights, costumes and precision choreography for which Tops In Blue is known worldwide, and you can look forward to a show that's sure to please everyone. 

This year's show also includes two members from Grand Forks AFB, Airman 1st Class Faith Walker and 2nd Lt. Adam Deem. 

"Tops in Blue is an experience like nothing I've ever experienced in my four years of service in the Air Force," said Lieutenant Deem, an alto saxophonist in the band. "The hours are often long and the schedule hectic, however, knowing that I'm giving something back to the people which make this the world's greatest Air Force is what keeps me going." 

Their official Web site is www.topsinblue.com and provides information about the 2007 touring schedule and how to join the team. 

Doors will open for the public at 6:15 p.m.
