Soon after the United States Air Force Academy was formed, the
Air Force mandated that to support troop morale, recruiting, and
community relations, a musical ensemble would be created to reflect
the Academy’s peerless standards. Today, that ensemble,
The United States Air Force Academy Band, sustains its mandate
on a national and international scale as it represents the USAF
Academy and the futuristic Air Force Space Command through public
concerts. As one of the Air Force’s two “premier bands,”
The USAF Academy Band maintains an aggressive concert schedule
of regional and national tours. The Band also performs for radio
and television broadcasts, and invitational performances that
have included the Midwest Band and Orchestra Convention, the American
Bandmasters Association National Convention, and the American
School Band Directors Association National Convention. Throughout
America, The United States Air Force Academy Band represents the
finest in concert band programming and performance.
