ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio -- It was a school program that rocked the house Thursday in the St. Clairsville High School gym.

The U.S. Air Force Rock Band played to an audience that ended up rocking along with them.

For the more than 1,000 students this was no ordinary assembly. The seven-member band played numbers from Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Bon Jovi and wrapped up with Journey.

The rock band is part of the larger Air Force Band of Flight, stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

They just returned from a two-and-a-half month deployment in Iraq where their job was to entertain the troops.

This was an excellent program for the students! It excited them and they had just a small view of the military and how they are 'just like us'! A special thanks to the school administration!
