Life as a Military Musician Question

Author: Gobboboy

Hi

From reading this board frequently I've noticed that there are quite a few experienced ex & current military musicians, so I was wondering if I could quiz you about how life in a top American Military Band differs from that of a European one? (I am in one myself whom is currently undergoing some major historical changes and would like to see how the rest of the world is doing it before I decide how to take it....long story sorry!) so, could anyone enlighten me..?

Is your Job entirely musical based (once basic military training is completed) or are you expected to keep up to date with training (weapons, fitness) etc?

Are you expected to follow troops into war zones and entertain?

Are their some bands that stay in the U.S with their sole role as ceremonial musicians?

Would you say that the top Bands (Army Field Band/Marines/Coast Guard etc..) are classed by their respected 'arm' as proffessional musical outfits and dont get involved too much with military life at all except for 'advertising' (bad choice of word probably) the Military and it's role.

How would a typical day in your life at work be?

any info would be very much appreciated

G
