Update: Donald Trump Scores Five More, Maybe Six A-1 List Performers For His Inaugural

Leave a comment

IMG_7845.PNGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Previously, The Adobo Chronicles reported that Donald Trump has secured four A-1 list performers for his January 20 inaugural. These include Jackie Evancho, Manny Pacquiao, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Justin Bieber.

Today, the Trump inaugural committee announced that five more A-1 list performers have been confirmed to make the inaugural a truly memorable and enjoyable national event.

The additions to the performers are:

  • The U.S. Army Band
  • The U.S. Marine Corps Band
  • The U.S. Navy Band
  • The U.S. Air Force Band
  •  The U.S. Coast Guard Band

When asked by The Adobo Chronicles how the committee was able to secure such A-1 performers, a Trump spokesperson said, “Well, the president is their Commander-in-Chief. They take orders from him.”

Earlier, the New York City Rockettes were reportedly committed to perform at the inaugural as well.  However, it now appears that only 12 members can be forced to perform, since they are the only full-time employees . All others who have refused to perform are freelance dancers and are not bound by orders from the Rockettes’ employer.

James Taylor To Perform At Donald Trump’s Inauguration

img_7713WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Just hours after American singer-songwriter James Taylor announced that he had cancelled a scheduled concert in the Philippines, he confirmed with The Adobo Chronicles that he had accepted an invitation from the Donald Trump inaugural committee to perform during the president-elect’s inauguration.

The inaugural committee has had a very difficult time booking artists and performers for the January 20 event.  No one wanted to be associated with the Trump inaugural.

Taylor’s acceptance comes as a big relief for Trump. The president-elect tweeted his appreciation for the 70’s folk singer who, incidentally, is a known Democrat.

Taylor cancelled his Manila concert scheduled in February, claiming that it was in protest of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs and the alleged extra-judicial killings that prompted his withdrawal from his Philippines appearance.

Many believe, however, that the real reason Taylor cancelled was because of dismal ticket sales.
