Air Force Reserve Band Performs Last Show

Submitted by 13WMAZ Web Staff
Saturday, May 4th, 2013, 5:27pm

The Air Force Reserve Band played their last tune Saturday night.

This band was eliminated after a series of budget cuts. 

In two performances at Mercer University, the band was joined by the Macon Symphony Youth Orchestra. 

About a dozen took the stage alongside 80 young musicians from the MSYO. 

In a nearly full house, the band performed twice. Once at 1:30 in the afternoon and the last performance ever was at 6:45 p.m.

"It's a little difficult and bittersweet. We've had such a great relationship with the community around Robins Air Force Base. We're sad to leave, but we also know that it's time to move on and go where the air force needs up to be," says Air Force Reserve Band conductor Thomas Gamboa.

The Air Force says airmen currently assigned to the band would be reassigned to other active duty bands.

Eagle Springs Students Get Hands-On With STEM

Submitted by 13WMAZ Web Staff
Friday, May 3rd, 2013, 6:42pm

Mix a little bit of polymer and some water and you've got yourself jelly orbs. That's just one of the experiments students at Eagle Springs Elementary in Byron made Friday to learn about STEM.

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Fifth grader Emily Smith wasn't afraid to get hands on with the experiments. She went as far as sticking her hand in the jelly-orb filled jar. She says they felt squishy.

Like Smith, fifth grader Brantley Busch couldn't wait to be hands-on. His favorite part was making the snap circuit moon rover because he built something that could move.

"We were working as a team and looking at the sheet to tell us how to do it and all the objects in the right place. When we had a problem we just asked somebody and they helped us," he said.
