"Tops in Blue'' to perform free show at the Ford Amphitheatre

TAMPA — One of the Air Force's oldest and most-widely traveled entertainment acts, Tops in Blue, will perform a musical show at the Ford Amphitheatre on Monday at 7 p.m.

The show is free and open to the public. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. No tickets are required.

Tops in Blue, also called the Air Force's Expeditionary Entertainers, is a special Air Force unit composed of active duty personnel who competed for the chance to be selected to the elite group. MacDill Air Force Base, which is partnering with the Ford Amphitheatre on the event, describes the show as "an extravaganza of sight and sound, of music and dance" for young and old.
