COAST GUARD BAND


The U.S. Coast Guard Band was organized in March 1925 with the assistance of John Philip Sousa, the legendary director of the U.S. Marine Band, and others. Its initial assignment was supporting cadet activities at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Today, its musicians are conservatory-trained with degrees from elite institutions. In the 1940s, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary organized a band in San Francisco.
