Trombone Ensemble of the Army Ground Forces Band
The Army Ground Forces Band provides world-class music in support of the U.S. Army Forces Command, headquartered at Ft. Bragg in Fayetteville, N.C. It serves as the musical ambassador of the American Combat Soldier to the American people, instilling pride in our troops and promoting a spirit of patriotism and support for our nation’s military through the performance of music at the local, regional and national levels.
Soldiers assigned to the Army Ground Forces Band have passed highly selective auditions and are among the finest musicians in the United States Army Band Program. The majority of the band's members have studied music at leading universities and conservatories in the United States and abroad. As one of the Army's three major bands with a national touring mission, the band gives concerts around the country and it holds free clinics and master classes for colleges, high school and middle school students.
In addition to the ceremonial and concert bands, musicians break up into smaller ensembles performing a wide variety of musical styles.
