A Musician’s Tribute in Tehachapi

A heartfelt concert in Tehachapi honored Lt. Col. Miles Middleton, a brilliant engineer, Air Force veteran, and beloved viola player in the local symphony, who tragically died in a B-52 crash. Over 100 community members gathered at Country Oaks Baptist Church to celebrate his life through music, with his orchestra seat adorned in flowers and ribbons. The evening opened with “Taps,” followed by the “Armed Forces Salute,” and featured classic tunes by Ellington and Mancini, even including a Pirates of the Caribbean medley — a fitting tribute to a man whose passions spanned aviation, music, and service.
