Band of the United States Navy

In the United States Navy, a "band" refers to a musical group composed of sailors who perform musical pieces for ceremonial, morale, and public occasions. These bands serve as a symbol of Navy tradition and pride, often participating in events like parades, ceremonies, and community outreach. Members are trained both as sailors and as musicians, and the band’s performances help foster esprit de corps among personnel and connect the Navy with the public. These ensembles can range from small groups to large, full orchestras, showcasing a diverse repertoire that promotes the Navy’s presence and values.
