The USU Eastern BDAC was full of melody on Tuesday evening as the United States Navy Concert Band hosted a free concert for members of the community.
“The band presents a wide array of marches, patriotic selections, orchestral transcriptions and modern wind ensemble repertoire,” USU Eastern shared. “As the original ensemble of the Navy Band, the Concert Band has been performing public concerts and participating in high-profile events for over 85 years.”
According to a press release from USU Eastern, one of the primary responsibilities of the U.S. Navy Band is its national concert tour. Rather than a single tour, the Navy Band’s national concert tour is a collection of tours throughout the year by the various units of the Navy Band. Each year, ensembles of the Navy Band embark for weeks on concert tours throughout specified regions of the country.
These tours provide the opportunity to reach out to audiences in areas of the country that may not see the Navy’s premier musical ensembles on a regular basis. The national concert tours of the Navy Band serve audiences with entertaining performances but also allow the Navy direct access to both former and future members of the United States Navy.
