"Noble and manly music invigorates the spirit, strengthens the wavering man
and incites him to great, and worthy deeds."

-Homer

Army Bands have been playing ever since the Revolutionary War. Throughout our long history, thousands of musicians/soldiers have played in just about every setting at home and abroad, in battle and during peace. So whether we are entertaining the soldiers in the field, or our loved ones back home, Army musicians are always ready to do the job.

Army Bands do more than just march in parades, we do much more. We play music of all kinds, from big band, jazz, country, and rock to classical and concert pieces. We have played with some of America's most beloved entertainers, from Bob Hope and Marilyn Monroe, to Jay Leno and Vanessa Williams. Army bands are always on the move. Sometimes playing for a military ceremony in the morning, a concert in the park in the afternoon and a dance later in the evening. So if you are a highly motivated individual, and can play a musical instrument, check out the 40th Infantry Division (M) Band, the "Voice of California."




THE SUNBURST DIVISION
The 40th Infantry (M) Division is headquartered in Los Alamitos, California. The 40th's subordinate units are stationed around the Southern California area, as well as Northern California, Arizona, Nevada, Montana and Colorado. The Sunburst Division is represented by the 40th Infantry (M) Division Band. The band is proud to represent one of the best Divisions in the Army, and the men and women who serve in it.

 "Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks
and Romans, and most be that of every free state."

-Thomas Jefferson
