The United States Band has been a constant in the United States since 1925, but what has not been constant has been the structure of the organization itself. From Humble beginnings as a small band at the Navy Yard in the early 20th century, the Navy Band has grown in both stature and function. More than simply a concert and ceremonial band, the Navy Band now consists of a mixed choir, a jazz ensemble, a country/bluegrass band and a contemporary music ensemble. The addition of the Sea Chanters, Commodores Jazz Ensemble, Country Current and Cruisers has redefined what music is possible from the Navy Band. As ceremonial commitments increase and more events require the band’s presence, the Navy Band is better positioned to fulfill its mission than at any other time in its history. The changes it has undergone over the years are integral to its position now as the “World’s Finest” and an essential part of the United States Navy and the country as a whole.
