Which of the Army Field Band components have you heard lately? Which is your favorite? Whatever your musical taste, we have a performing ensemble to match it. The Concert Band and Soldiers’ Chorus perform a versatile program of classical, Broadway, pop, and traditional band and choral literature.
America’s Big Band–The Jazz Ambassadors is one of the best big bands performing today. And if you’ve never heard The Volunteers, you’re missing one of the most exciting bands in the military.
The Volunteers is the smallest of the Field Band components but packs an enormous punch! With only two singers, keyboard, guitar, bass, and drums, the group puts on an electrifying show, playing styles ranging from country and classic rock to contemporary urban and modern metal.
If it’s been a while since you’ve seen The Volunteers, you may be surprised when you see them again. Over the past twelve months, the ensemble has seen some changes in personnel, gaining a new guitarist, a new audio engineer, and an exciting new element they’ve never had: a lighting technician.
“I expect the lighting technician we’ve just hired to be as creative with his craft as anyone in the band. It’s like hiring another musician,” said Master Sergeant Kirk Kadish, keyboardist with The Volunteers. “We want to ‘grow the show.’ The major productions are multi-media events, and we want to stay competitive. Making lighting a greater aspect of the show is just the first step of a bigger plan.” Fans of The Volunteers won’t want to miss what comes next!
