Newtown Savings Bank Sponsors: A Salute to our Nation's Heroes in Danbury on Sunday

The 102d Army Band is a National Guard unit stationed in Rockville, CT.  They meet one weekend per month & two weeks of active duty training throughout the year rehearsing & performing for the public and at military ceremonies and functions.

The Army’s mission for military bands is to “provide music in order to instill in our Soldiers the will to fight and win, foster support of our citizens, and promote our national interests at home and abroad in support of military operations.” 

They perform at sendoff ceremonies for Soldiers who are being deployed, as well as for their return home, for the Governor’s Inauguration ceremony, special in state ceremonies and high profile dinner events, military graduations, change of command ceremonies and dining in events for our Soldiers.

They also perform for the community.  During the summer they travel the state performing on town greens, in gazebos, for recreation departments, senior centers, Veteran’s homes, etc.  Additionally, they perform the National Anthem for the Rock Cats, Wolf Pack, and local sporting events.

They continuously pull classic tunes from their 1,000+ piece music library and work in new, up to date charts from the movies and radio today.

The 102nd Army Band is eager to perform at the Ives for the 2016 Summer Concert Series!
