DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?
The 300th Army Band is seeking talented musicians — male or female — who are qualified to enlist in the U.S. Army and can successfully complete a prearranged audition. More than anything, we are looking for individuals who have a passion for their instrument, a love of music, and a desire to use their talents in service to our country.
If selected to join the band, you’ll first complete nine weeks of Basic Combat Training (BCT), just like any other Army recruit, where you’ll learn the essential skills of being a Soldier.
Following BCT, you’ll attend 10 weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at the Army School of Music in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where you’ll focus on honing your musical skills in preparation for your career with the 300th.
The first step toward joining is the audition. We will assess your musicianship — focusing on tone, technique, rhythm, intonation, versatility across musical styles, and your ability to quickly learn new music.
You can begin the process by contacting a local Army recruiter, who will help arrange an audition with an Army Band Liaison. You’re also welcome to contact us directly — our team is ready to guide you through every step.
