Gunnery Sgt. James M. Stanley conducts the III Marine Expeditionary Force Band and the University of the Ryukyus’ wind ensemble in a performance of “Sky Blue Dream” July 14 aboard Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan. The university band’s wind ensemble also received music lessons from the Marines with the III MEF Band. According to Stanley, the enlisted conductor with the III MEF band, the visit was an excellent way to promote a long lasting partnership between Okinawa residents and the Marine Corps through music.
