Karl, did you leave out the Coast Guard Band in New London, CT in your list
of bands with stabilized assignments?

Vincent,

As I said in my post way back at the beginning of this thread, you are
assigned "according to the needs of" the service. Sure, there are
bandsmen in line bands who haven't been sent to Iraq, but there's
nothing to protect them from getting those orders tomorrow. The only
bands that are "stabilized assignments," meaning you are assigned there
and nowhere else for the duration of your enlistment, are the "special
bands" - the Washington bands, the U.S. Army Field Band, the West Point
band and the Air Force Band in , I think, Colorado. [snip]
