Musical Activities

The Regimental Band and Fanfare Trumpet Team, along with the Mariners Chorus and Chapel Choir, serve as the Academy’s “musical ambassadors.” Members of the Regimental Band live together in their own midshipmen company.

The nationally-acclaimed Band, which has made several recordings, plays for the morning colors ceremony. It has also performed at the Cotton Bowl, in Presidential Inaugural Parades, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, at Madison Square Garden and aboard the passenger ship QE2! Within the Band are a Pep Band, Stage Band and Jazz Ensemble.

The Mariners Chorus has sung with John Williams and the Boston Pops for the Statue of Liberty Centennial Concert and has appeared on television. Both the Chorus and the Chapel Choir perform at off-campus events.

While the Academy does not have a string orchestra, midshipmen who play string instruments are able to perform with the Great Neck Symphony Orchestra, an outstanding local community organization.
