United States Navy Band: Québec City International Festival of Military Bands

The United States Navy Band traveled to Québec City, Québec during the last week of August to participate in the 10th annual Québec City International Festival of Military Bands. The Festival welcomed 16 bands and featured more than 600 musicians from five countries participating in popular concerts; a military tattoo; a parade through downtown Québec City; and several other special events designed to promote awareness and appreciation of the traditions and history of military bands.

The United States Navy Band provides musical support to the President of the United States, the Department of the Navy, and other senior military and government officials. Through ceremonies, national tours, public concerts, and recordings, the United States Navy Band inspires patriotism, elevates esprit de corps, enhances Navy awareness and public relations, supports recruiting and retention efforts, preserves our nation's musical heritage, and projects a positive Navy image at home and abroad.

Sorry to say folks...If this is truly THE NAVY BAND which holds to a far higher standard than any other Navy Band..I am a bit disappointed in the fact this band has intonation issues particularly in the woodwind section and other areas as well. Where are the white haired guys in the NAVY BANDS who played with near perfect intonation from days past.? I hate to say it, I have heard many quality high school bands sound as good. For contrast, check out the SALVATION ARMY Band, New York City!

To jr7rockets: Work hard on your instrument and follow through on your goal. "how do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice" My son enlisted in the Army with the condition that he could audition with his his french horn for an Army band. He was accepted and it got him to tour Europe with the U.S. Army band of Europe. Good Luck.
