How to request the TRADOC Band

The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Band has numerous performing groups that can provide the appropriate style of music for a variety of military and civilian public events.  If you are interested in booking the band for a performance, please review TRADOC memorandum 220-1 to see if your event meets the basic requirements for support by the TRADOC Band.

With regard to military ceremonies, per TRADOC memorandum 220-1, the Band provides ceremonial support for change of command ceremonies at the level of O-5 and above, installation level change of responsibility ceremonies at the E-9 level installation Command Sergeant Major or equivalent), periodic group military retirement ceremonies, and individual retirement ceremonies at the level of O-7 and above.  Ceremonies for Headquarters TRADOC, Fort Monroe, Fort Eustis, Fort Story, and other Army installations take precedence over ceremonies for other services.

If your event appears to meet the basic requirements, you may then request the band by filling out the form below.  When you have filled in all necessary information, please click the Submit Performance Request button at the bottom of the page.
