Major Treg Ancelet serves as commander and conductor of The Army Ground Forces Band.

A native of Houma, La., Ancelet holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwestern State University and a Master’s Degree in Music from George Mason University, where he studied with Professor Anthony Maiello and served as assistant director of the wind ensemble.

 

Immediately before assuming his current duties, he served as the staff bands officer at Army Forces Command Headquarters at Fort McPherson, Ga.

 

Before that, he was the deputy commander of the United States Military Academy Band, where he served as officer in charge of the "Hellcats," the Army’s oldest established musical unit.

 

While serving at West Point, Maj. Ancelet led ceremonies on the famous parade field with "The Long Gray Line," musically supported funerals for some of the country’s most recognized generals and conducted concerts at Trophy Point overlooking the Hudson River. He says he is proudest of having led the fight song as the football team charged into the stadium for the Army-Navy football game.

 

Maj. Ancelet’s ensembles performed with Broadway legends: Tony Award-winning singer Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon, Mulan), composer and lyricist Charles Strouse (Annie, Bye Bye Birdie) and soprano Marni "the Voice of Hollywood" Nixon, as well as with the New York Philharmonic.

 

His other assignments included serving as executive officer and associate conductor of The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Band and as the executive officer of the Advanced Individual Training (AIT) Company, U.S. Army School of Music.
