The United States Army Europe Band is stationed in Sembach, Germany. The Band was originally activated in 1940. With its partner group, the United States Army Europe Soldiers’ Chorus, it is currently the Army’s third largest musical organisation, the biggest outside of the US, and the Army’s premier musical ambassadors in Europe, the embassy said.
“The United States Army Europe Band is an extremely versatile ensemble, always in great demand.”
As a whole it performs more than 200 times each year, and has appeared in more than 20 European and Middle Eastern countries.
The band’s musical programming reflects diverse stylistic heritage of American and European music and feature selections that appeal to audiences of all musical tastes, including the best of American music from Broadway stage and Hollywood screen to the sounds of New Orleans Dixieland and Big Band jazz, as well as traditional wind ensemble marches and instrumental solo features, the embassy said.
