About the 133d Army National Guard Band:
Since 1636, the Army National Guard has maintained a dedicated and intentional means of supporting our troops, tactical formations, and citizens with live music. Today’s National Guard Musicians are proud ambassadors of this heritage. We hold civilian jobs or attend school while maintaining our military training part-time, always ready to defend the American way of life in the event of an emergency.
The 133d Army Band is a 40 member, diverse group of musicians and ensembles that serve one weekend each month, and two weeks a year in the summer for a state-wide concert engagement. We provide musical support to military ceremonies; community festivals, gatherings and events; and educational outreach in schools of all grade levels. We average 90 musical mission performances a year, to include requests from the Governor of the state of Washington, Seattle Mariners games, Radio Stations, Leavenworth Lighting Festival, Seattle Children’s Hospital, and multiple others throughout the state.
Army Bands as a whole work to enhance public confidence and patriotism among the American people, and to perpetuate service identity, tradition, and morale. This is accomplished by engaging local, regional, national, and international audiences through world-class musical performances; rendering honors and providing musical support to military ceremonies; providing live music to Soldiers in deployed and austere environments; and to Soldiers, Families, and veterans on the home front.
