The U.S. Naval Academy Band Brass Dectet

Ever since the founding of the Naval Academy in 1845, when the “Band” consisted of a fifer and a drummer, music has been an important part of life at the Naval Academy life. Officially formed in November 1852, The United States Naval Academy Band has established a reputation for outstanding musical support of the Brigade of Midshipmen and the surrounding community. However, the current version of the Naval Academy Band is a far cry from the thirteen men who reported to Annapolis over 148 years ago. Today, due to the unmatched versatility of its members, the band is able to blend tradition and change into a variety of musical styles. Each member of the band hopes to add his or her mark to the progress which has seen a walrus-mustachioed fifer and drummer grow into one of America’s top ranking musical organizations.
