U.S. Army Soldier Show visits USAG Ansbach-June 4, 2011
The 2011 U.S. Army Soldier Show performed at Bunch Physical Fitness Center in Storck Barracks on Saturday June 4 and delivered a colorful, energetic mix of music, dance and performances for the 366 people who attended.
The theme of this year’s show was “Carnival - A Traveling Thank You.”
The opening act was true to the carnival theme with the performers in brightly-colored costumes, catchy music and a carnival barker in bright red tails and top hat.
The show also included a Polynesian-themed dance, a rousing rendition of the Charlie Daniels Band song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” and a soulful final number with all of the Soldiers in their dress blues.
The Soldiers who perform in the Soldier Show come from active and reserve component duty assignments worldwide. Before the show takes to the road the Soldiers rehearse for three months.
When they are ready they spend about seven months on the road, performing for Army audiences in the United States, Europe and Korea.
At the conclusion of the tour the cast and crew return to their duty assignments and continue to work in their military occupational specialties.
Following Saturday’s show Sgt. 1st Class Chyntia Turner, the Soldier’s Show Noncommissioned Officer in Charge, presented U.S. Army Garrison Ansbach commander Col. Christopher M. Hickey and Command Sgt. Major Lester Stephens a commemorative plaque.
Also after the show the cast met with the audience, signed autographs and posed for photos.
