The Army Ground Forces Band provides world-class music
in support of the U.S. Army Forces
Command, headquartered at Ft.
McPherson in Atlanta, Ga. It serves as the musical ambassador of the
American Combat Soldier to the American people, instilling pride in our troops
and promoting a spirit of patriotism and support for our nation’s military
through the performance of music at the local, regional and national levels.
The 64 Soldiers assigned to the Band have passed highly
selective auditions and are among the finest musicians in the United States Army
Band Program. The majority of the Band's members have studied music at leading
universities and conservatories in the United States and abroad.
The band has
continued to remain active following a busy start to 2009, with the
Brass Quintet
performing a number of master classes and concerts throughout March and April at
universities and colleges in Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana.
The Jazz Guardians
participated in jazz festivals in both Georgia and Tennessee, while the
Dixie Band
performed several times in May throughout Georgia. Members of the horn and
trumpet sections have continued to hone their skills as instrumentalists with
attendance at the International Horn Symposium and the International Trumpet
Guild’s annual conference respectively. In May, the Concert Band performed its
most recent concerts at the Villages Amphitheatre in Fayetteville, Ga., and at
Stone Mountain Park in Stone Mountain, Ga.
Over the next couple of months, the
Ceremonial Band
will be participating in numerous ceremonies throughout Georgia, Maryland and
North Carolina, and the
Concert Band will
