Event Update: We are canceling the US Army Band Concert on Wednesday, Feb. 23, due to expected inclement weather. The Band was set to perform the “Soundtrack of the American Soldier,” featuring exciting movie music from some of the greatest films of our generation, including “Saving Private Ryan” and “The Great Escape.” The Band is playing tonight, Feb. 22, in Phoenix for those who still wish to see them perform. That show is set to begin at 7 p.m. at the Madison Center for the Arts, 5601 N. 16th St. Phoenix. Call 602-664-7777 for tickets or details.

Concert Band and Soldiers’ Chorus
of The U.S. Army Field Band
The Concert Band & Soldiers’ Chorus are the oldest and largest of The U.S. Army Field Band’s
performing components. Founded in 1946 and 1957 respectively, these two ensembles combine to present joint concerts on their national tours. They have performed in all 50 states and 30 foreign countries for audiences totaling hundreds of millions.
The 60-member Concert Band and 29-member Soldiers’ Chorus perform regularly in some of the
most famous concert halls in the world, and just as often in the humblest auditoriums in the smallest of communities. The joining of these two ensembles allows them to offer unparalleled versatility of programming, ranging from orchestral masterworks and operatic arias to Sousa marches, jazz classics, and Broadway musicals. The band and chorus also perform independently, and have recently shared the stage with such ensembles as the Boston Pops, the Cincinnati Pops, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra.
In addition to their national tours, formal concerts, chamber recitals, and educational outreach,
members of the Concert Band & Soldiers’ Chorus frequently represent the Army at formal and ceremonial functions, including the Presidential Inaugural Parade, presidential funerals, the Army All-American Bowl, and diplomatic efforts overseas.
Wow! Wonderful show
WOW Wonderful show can’t miss
