At 5:45 AF 1 did a flyover, approaching from the south. Two minutes later it repeated the flyover in the opposite direction.

Spotted: Walt Nauta (not with children or spouse). Thanks to fellow pooler Kerry Picket for helping spot several staffers!

On background from a White Official, the White House says they're expecting around 6,000 people tonight. Also on background from WH, FLOTUS wore a Noor Hammour brown trench with Manolo snake pumps.

At one point during a pause between songs, POTUS mouthed a comment to one of the musicians nearby, causing the musician to smile. Your pooler could not hear the comment, but it appeared to be a compliment.

In addition to handing out candy and posing for photos, POTUS and FLOTUS have occasionally signed things for children, and POTUS hugged a little girl after she appeared to reach in for a hug.
