AVIANO AIR BASE, Italy --  Approximately 500 Americans and Italians were dazzled by the Air Force's premiere entertainment showcase, Tops in Blue, during their "To Dream" tour performance Oct. 3 at Aviano Air Base.

Senior Airman Joanell Jackson, Detachment 1, 20th Air Support Operations Squadron, Fort Polk, La., who sang "One Night Only" from the movie "Dream Girls" and Airman 1st Class Anthoney Williams, 35th Civil Engineer Squadron, Misawa Air Base, Japan, who sang and played the trumpet were crowd favorites during the show.

"I really liked the music," said a 7-year-old Italian girl who watched the performance with her parents for the second year in a row.  She said she enjoyed the 2008 show too because people were dressed in costumes.
