Albany Marching Falcons head to France to perform at D-Day ceremony

80 years ago this week, some 2,500 Americans lost their lives bravely in the invasion of Normandy.

The Albany Marching Falcons performed in France for D-Day.

The band took part in the country’s commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion during World War II.

The band was first invited to commemorate D-Day five years ago during the 75th anniversary. Now they are back in France for an encore performance – one of just two bands from around the world invited.
