Career Openings
Are you a musician with college level musical training or professional performing experience?
Are you interested in a steady paycheck, a chance to perform, and great benefits for you and your family, including quality housing and free health insurance?
Do you want to further your education, such as completing your bachelors degree, or earning a masters degree, for little to no cost?
Do you have college loans that you would like to have repaid, up to $65,000?
Do you want to have all this, as well as the pride and respect that comes with serving your country?
If all of these benefits, plus the opportunity to perform for a living interest you, call the Training and Doctrine Command Band today to schedule an audition, or visit Army Bands Online Auditions and fill out the Audition Sign-up Form. Auditions for the TRADOC Band, or any other Army Band, may be scheduled at the candidate's convenience. Auditions are open to all qualified candidates, and in no way obligate the applicant to join the Army.
Following the audition, candidates will receive feedback on their performance, an overview of the Army Band Program, and information about current openings. Candidates will also have the opportunity to meet with current Army Band members and get a better understanding of the daily life of an Army musician.
Qualified musicians have their choice of assignment (based upon audition results and available openings). The U.S. Army currently employs over 5,000 musicians throughout the United States, as well as numerous overseas locations, including Germany, Belgium, Japan, and Korea.
