The mission of the Navy Band is to provide musical support to the President of the United States, the Department of the Navy (DON), and other senior military and government officials through ceremonies, national and regional tours, public concerts, and recordings.
The Navy Band was formed in 1925 and currently has one hundred seventy enlisted musicians that perform over 270 public concerts and 1,300 ceremonies each year.
