The official RU-vid channel of The United States Army Band "Pershing's Own." Based on historic Fort Myer, Virginia, "Pershing's Own" is the premier musical organization of the Nation's senior armed service.
What is so striking to me, some three years after this performance, is the utter discipline these musicians demonstrated to protect themselves and each other during the height of the pandemic. At a time when masking was seen as burdensome and heavy-handed to many, these musicians were both socially-distanced and masked during a music performance. I think this performance speaks highly of the U.S. Army's commitment to professionalism and safety. The U.S. Army well illustrated here that, even in a music performance, there was a way to take reasonable safety measures and still play beautifully. Bravo!
Thank you! My son has been learning and was so squeaky and has been feeling sad about his progress. I have never played any band instruments before so don't know how to help. But your advice to put the tongue on the reed was extremely helpful!! He was able to play the song for the first time without any squeaking!!! Thank you!
While RV camping at an Air Force FamCamp, we met a retired Green Beret and his wonderful wife...American patriots! After chatting for about an hour about martial arts, RVing, and our kids in the USAF, he gifted my wife one of his Jump Wings. Wow, we were floored! All we could say was Thank You and Godspeed in your travels! Hopefully our paths will cross again someday!
