Tops In Blue Update 01 ► Shut Down After 6 Decades The Air Force on 1 SEP permanently shut down Tops in Blue, its six-decade-old touring performance ensemble made up of amateur airmen. Tops in Blue has become a source of controversy in recent years, with some airmen saying it was a waste of time and money that didn't do much to entertain the rank-and-file. Some airmen claimed their commanders ordered them to attend Tops in Blue performances, a claim backed up by some disgruntled former Tops in Blue members, who also told Air Force Times they felt the show was out of date and wasted money on costumes -- enough for multiple changes -- and musical instruments that sat unplayed and uncared for in storage. Until late 2015 -- when Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James first launched a survey to find out how airmen really felt about it and then suspended the 2016 tour -- Air Force officials maintained the band was a morale-booster and great recruiting tool, beloved by current and former airmen and their families, as well as commanders, and "represents an outstanding value to the Air Force." The comedians Sinbad and Jerry Van Dyke are perhaps Tops in Blue's most famous alums. In an email 16 SEP, Air Force spokeswoman Brooke Brzozowske said the decision to close down the song-and-dance troupe, which played a mixture of modern pop and rock songs and classic rock and oldies, "came after a year-long review prompted by fiscal realities and resource constraints combined with changing airman demographics."
