The largest American military band

outside the US, The United States

Army Europe Band & Chorus is made

up of over one hundred Soldiers

and nine different ensembles. The

band boasts excellent concert and

marching bands, but is capable

of more than traditional concerts

and parades. From Dixieland jazz

to modern rock; from subtle

woodwinds to a boisterous

jazz orchestra, the United

States Army Europe Band

& Chorus can provide

music for any occasion.
