Valadie, drum major for The United States Air Force Band drum major and flight chief for the band’s Ceremonial Brass, stands ready during a commercial break at a performance on the TODAY Show in New York, N.Y., July 5, 2024. “We have been doing this for 26 years, and this is my 25th time coming up here,” Valadie said.
