Where did you see them? Do they tour?

side note: if any of you are in New England, try to catch the Army Field Band and Chorus this week. I saw them in S. Jersey last Wednesday and echo Mark's sentiments regarding West Point---wow2!

When my son went there the band played a special 4th of July concert for the New Cadets as it was the middle of their basic training. I understand that has been a tradition there for a number of years. It's an outdoor concert and the public can attend.

Oh yeah, they are great! It's been about 10 years, but I heard them at West Point at a July 4th celebration. They ended with 1812 Overture including small (but loud) cannon. A real treat.
