U.S. Coast Guard Band

The United States Coast Guard Band is the premier band representing the United States Coast Guard and the Department of Homeland Security. The 55-member ensemble is based at the US Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. In addition to performing concert tours around the nation, the Band has also played in the former Soviet Union, Canada, England, Japan and Taiwan. In 2008, the Coast Guard Band became the first premier American military band to perform a concert tour of Japan. Concerts include a broad spectrum of music, from wind ensemble classics to swinging jazz charts.

“...the level of technical and artistic attainment was about as near perfection as most musical bodies are going to get. In short, it was matchless...” —THE POST BULLETIN, Rochester, Minn.
