I've had the great pleasure of working with Victoria Reed and the American Belles on numerous occasions in my 19 years as an Air Force bandleader. The Belles are extraordinarily talented ladies, full of class and heart, professional in every regard, selflessly dedicated to entertaining America's service men and women...and frankly, just a lot of fun to watch and listen to. They KNOW how to grab an audience and take them on a musical and visual journey that will lift their hearts and remind them of what and who makes this country so great. I wish them continued success and Godspeed as they carry on their vital mission.

The American Belles did a fantastic job at GSA's 2008 Expo in Anaheim California. They performed in 3 different venues, and in everyone mesmerized the audience with their amazing harmony, talent, and stage presence. At the Opening Reception their positive spirit and vitality set the mood for the entire evening, and their beautiful costumes added so much to their aura. At the Ribbon Cutting, their rendition of the National Anthem was pure harmony, and just about brought the government audience to tears. Their final performance on the show floor absolutely charmed the vendors and attendees as they swept out into the audience and personalized their performance. The American Belles added the patriotism to our patriotic event!

American Belles Caused Wide Smiles

(Tue, Nov/13/2007)

"On Nov. 3, the clocks weren't the only thing turned back. At the new Wilbur Watts School state-of-the-art auditorium, minds, hearts and memories were taken back to all the wonderful tunes and ballads of World War II hits by the Andrew Sisters. The beautiful trio, the American Belles made this all happen. From the start of the performance it was plain to see those women clearly know the secret of winning the hearts of all present, especially our veterans. A song salute to each and every branch of the service acknowledged and recognized each member present. I myself am a baby boomer, so to watch all the familiar faces of so many people I know and realize that for them, those songs were maybe the only thing that kept them going, during the war, had a major impact on me and gave me a sense of pride and admiration words can't explain. I salute the Tourism Council, the City of Burlington, the American Legion Post and especially the American Belles. I hope this is the first of many shows to come. What a beautiful display of patriotism. Bob Hope would be proud."

"You have no idea how important and wonderful your participation in our Reunion Banquet turned out. It would have been just another reunion if it had not been for you and it will always be referred to as the “best ever” because of your show/participation. Every member, and I mean every member (and their wives), commented on your performance. They will never forget what you did for them on that evening in Washington, DC on August 25, 2007. You are very special and I can't thank you enough for what you did for those heroes that saved our way of life so many years ago. Thank you and your wonderful troupe!"

Semper Fidelis,

Col Pete Grimes

 

 

"When we have the American Belles perform at our USO events, I know everyone is going to walk away wowed!! They are the real deal!! I also love having them come to D.C. to visit our wounded warriors."

"The American Belles are a class act and were an absolute sensation at our GSA Expo 2007! Their many entertaining sets and radiant personalities warmed the huge hall at the Orlando Convention Center. We received many wonderful comments about their beautiful voices and costumes. What a treat for our attendees, especially our veterans and their families! We look forward to having the "Belles" back next year."

"The American Belles were the undeniable highlight of the 27th Annual Maryland Governor's Tourism Industry Conference 2007. The multi-talented beauties delighted the 350+ crowd beyond belief with two show-stopping sets. Their performance electrified the audience and their humble spirits made the event a night to remember. From the sincere patriotic medley to the rousing "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," the American Belles had us tapping our toes and saluting the heroes of the world's best military. More than a month has past and my inbox still remains full with compliments about the trio and their star-spangled show. We thank you for joining us for our World War II Canteen Dance. We could not have asked for a more fabulous group to entertain our group of tourism industry professionals and show off beautiful Calvert County, Md. Keep up the great work!"

"The outstanding performance by the American Belles helped make the 2007 Ellis Island Medals of Honor Ceremony a huge success. Thank you for your special contribution in making this patriotic event most memorable!"
