The US Air Force Central Command Band, also known as AFCENT Band, staged a spectacular performance Tuesday night at Mall of Qatar as part of the US Embassy’s Discover America Festival.

Welcoming the audience at the Oasis stage at Mall of Qatar, William Grant, Chargé d’Affaires lauded the band for sharing their talent and providing their service around the world.

“The work they do around the world to spread goodwill and foster strong partnerships with Qatar and other nations through music is most commendable. Congratulations to you, and thank you for your service,” said Grant.

He was upbeat of the growing number of American brands in the country particularly in Mall of Qatar whose support of U.S.-Qatari relations in the realm of trade and business and culture he appreciated. 

“We are always excited to see the network of American businesses here expand and work together to bring the best the U.S. has to offer to you,” he said.

Running until Saturday, Discover America Festival features various activities held across the country.
