ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Retired NFL center Jason Kelce sat in with the saxophone section of a U.S. Army big band last spring, on a stage in Alexandria.

Kelce performed with the Jazz Ambassadors of the U.S. Army Field Band during a video production at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center at Northern Virginia Community College on May 13, according to the Army, which released photographs of the session Monday.

The Army said the production "supported an upcoming PBS Veterans Day broadcast" and was meant to highlight the Field Band's mission to "connect with Americans, honor veterans and inspire future generations through music and outreach."
