UNITED STATES NAVY BAND

The United States Navy Band is the pre-mier musical organization of the U.S. Navy. Comprised of six primary performing groups as well as a host of smaller en-sembles, “The World’s Finest” is capable of playing any style of music in any set-ting.

Since its inception in 1925, the Navy Band has been entertaining audiences and sup-porting the Navy with some of America’s finest musicians performing more than 270 public concerts and 1,300 ceremo-

nies each year. From national concert tours and histor-ic public events to presidential inaugu-rations and memorial services at Arlington National Cemetery, the Navy Band proudly represents the men and women of the largest, most

versatile, most capable naval force on the planet today: America’s Navy.

The Navy Band is dedicated to the edu-cation of younger musicians. The Music in the Schools program features band mem-bers presenting clinics, master classes and recitals at local schools. Every spring, the Concert Band hosts its annual Young Artist Solo Competition.

The United States Navy Band, nationally and internationally, stands for musical and military excellence. Whether performing at Carnegie Hall, the White House or a rural civic auditorium, the United States Navy Band is constantly reaffirming why they are “The World’s Finest.”

LIEPAJA, Latvia

The United States Navy Band, nationally and internationally, stands for musical and military excellence.

NAVY MUSICEach year, Navy musicians present more than 6,000 performances across the United States and around the world, connecting with millions of people. Proud musical ambassadors, our 11 bands represent the Navy in a musical capacity stimulating pride, esprit de corps, retention and recruiting, promoting national and international public relations, and en-hancing the prestige of the Navy.

Navy bands go where ships can’t go, expanding and strengthening our network of partners. In a typi-cal year, Navy bands travel to more than 40 countries, helping improve access and relationships abroad.

Here at home, Sailor musicians play an important role honoring the long and proud tradition of naval ser-vice. While traveling all over the country, Navy bands come togeth-er with communities to honor and celebrate the service of veterans.

Across the nation and all over the globe, your Navy bands are con-necting people from all walks of life to America’s Navy.

Supremacy on the waterways of the world will always be crit-ical. Whether it’s by way of oceans, canals, rivers or coast-al areas, the Navy serves as a guardian for America’s freedom and for defending the life we

know. Deployed all around the globe, America’s Navy supports the cause of liberty abroad, pro-motes peace for all humanity, and enables the safe travel of people and goods to meet the expanding demands of globalization.

America’s Navy is unique in that it conducts mis-sions on all fronts: in the air, on land and at sea. Fulfilling a broad role that encompasses everything from combat to peacekeeping to humanitarian assistance – in theater, on bases and everywhere from the cockpits of F-18s to the control rooms of nuclear submarines.

Wherever a military presence is needed, the Navy is there. Whenever a situation requires U.S. in-volvement, the Navy is often the first to deploy, the first to engage and the first to help.

WHERE IT COUNTS. WHEN IT COUNTS.

I want to personally thank you for joining us on our 2020 national tour. Your United States Navy Band proudly rep-resents more than 330,000 Sailors working around the world to keep our nation safe and free.

This evening you will hear some of the finest musicians our country has to offer, who have not only dedicated their lives to the relentless pursuit of musical per-fection, but have also chosen to serve their nation. Please feel free to come up after the concert and say hello or ask any questions you might have.

Finally, thank you now and always for your sup-port. We in the Navy can’t do what we do with-out you. My hope is this performance will offer a glimpse into the pride and professionalism our Sailors exhibit each and every day.
