United States Navy Band Sea Chanters

First Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

The U.S. Navy Band Sea Chanters is the official chorus of America’s Navy. The ensemble performs a variety of music ranging from traditional choral music, including sea chanteys and patriotic fare, to opera, Broadway, and contemporary music. The Sea Chanters chorus is frequently found at the center of high-profile national events. At home in Washington, D.C., the group performs for the president, vice president, and numerous congressional, military and foreign dignitaries.

One of the U.S. Navy Band’s primary responsibilities involves touring the country. All of the band’s primary performing units embark each year on concert tours throughout specified regions of the country, allowing the band to reach out to audiences in areas of the country that do not have opportunities to see the Navy’s premier musical ensembles on a regular basis. The concerts are family-friendly events, meant to be entertaining to veterans, families, individuals and those interested in joining the Navy.

All Navy Band performances are free and open to the public.

Hot Logic MINI conduction oven

What is HotLogic?
HotLogic is a fully automated, patented “SmartShelf” software-controlled portable conduction oven that cooks frozen meals, leftovers and raw foods, holding food warm and ready-to-eat for up to 12 hours. With no buttons, dials or controls necessary, it’s cleaner and more energy-efficient than a microwave or conventional oven. HotLogic accepts food in all forms of closed containers, paper, aluminum, metal, plastic or glass, and emits no cooking odors.

Why HotLogic?
HotLogic generally takes less than 1 hour to heat refrigerated food and 2 hours for frozen food – you can even leave food in as long as 12 Hours. The Hot Logic never gets hot enough to burn food and because the food is sealed, meals will stay moist and ready to eat for up to 12 hours.

How does HotLogic work?
Made in the U.S.A, the HotLogic uses low-slow conduction heat to bring foods to the ideal temperature and can hold it there for hours without overcooking or drying the food out! You can use any flat-bottom container made of glass, plastic, Tupperware, or metal as long as it had a sealed lid.
