A Day in the Life of an Army Musician (78th Army Band)

Join me as I take y'all through a busy day in the 78th Army Band! At the time this was filmed, we were doing the Veteran's Day Parade in NYC and Fox & Friends. You can find out what the band is up to by looking up "78th Army Band" on all platforms!!
Enjoy!

I retired from the West Point band and I remember doing those gigs as well. Keep up the good work.

This is so awesome! I really want to be a vocalist in one of the premier bands, so this is really neat to see

[@clarayu5409]

Good Video Babygirl!!!

[@joshmckeon8582]

So cool !!

[@DrumMenace]

Why E4 rank in OCPs and then E5 shoulder boards while in the ASU, and then back to E4 later in the video? Recent promotion?

[@paulhambleton5749]

Check out the bands of the HM Royal Marines

[@nathanmorgan9807]

I'm so confused. Why E4 on the OCP's and E5 on the ASU's?

[@joiebyrd]

Looks like it wasn't so much rank-dependent. The soldiers acting in a public affairs role were in OCPs and the performing musicians for that event were in ASUs.

[@DrumMenace]

@@joiebyrd @nathanmorgan9807 is referring to the person hosting the video. She was wearing E4 rank when in front of the fire station and when she's getting ready in the hotel she's wearing E5 shoulder boards.

[@ww2717]

You had E-5 strips on in your blues and then spec 4 on your ocp. What rank are you

[@Lucy-ft4vn]

How tough was the audition process to get in as a vocalist?

[@MarquesJ_]

HOOAH!

[@danielliles6448]

your gorgeous

[@TptDavid]

Hua!!

[@madisondiaz6691]

Does the band ever deploy?

[@halliek]

So it depends on whether your National Guard, Army Reserve or Active Army, but it is not uncommon for active bands to deploy if needed. My band in particular has not deployed since I have been there!

[@pjtello4640]

I want to join but that would require me to cut my long hair of 5 years :(

[@HenryVandenburgh]

Cool. As a vet, I wish it had been MSNBC and friends, but you can't have everything.

[@juneyellowsnek]

You have to be the oiliest person on the planet.

[@halliek]

thank you for your service!
