Welcome Tish,
What instrument does your son play? He needs to speak to or email one of the music officers in charge to get info regarding joining a band.
No. not yet he is trying to find a way to get in
My son would love to play in the Navy Band. That was his dream and now he is in the Navy, but not in the Band. Is it to late for him to join.

Hey, Lisa...Gabe got his orders last week. He is defintely headed for Memphis. His grad date is supposed to be 2/13, but he has been accelerated, so I don't know if that will change. I'll keep you posted. Let me know if Freedom will be playing dow...
He is in music school in Virginia now. He just finished his theory mid-term and got between 3.5, 3.9, and two 4.0s on the different sections. Yay! He also found out this week that he has the highest score in ear training.
That would be awesome if...
Tiffany, when Gabe auditioned, he was told to choose songs from a list. (Do you have the list?) He had to choose 12 songs from 6 musical genres (2 from each) and would perform 6 of them for his video-taped audition. They judge stage presence as we...
Danielle went into the music program right from high school. Most of the musicians had already received degrees in music. She never had a music theory class so that was new to her at the school. However she had been playing her flute from 5th-12th...
Susie, I don't have an audition set up yet, just going through the music, picking out which songs I know or would like to learn, this is mainly a thought right now, my husband is Navy and is almost in A school, just graduated a couple wks ago from...
Hi Tiffany, have you taken your ASVAB yet? If not, I suggest doing that first and getting it out of the way. You can find boot camp workouts online just to start getting in shape. My daughter is an MU and plays the flute, piccolo and sax. She also...
Hi Tiffany. My son is a vocalist at the school of music. He has been in the Navy for a year and at the school of music for two months. What kind of music do you like to sing? Do you play any instruments? Gabe did not have much instrumental experie...
Hey ladies! I'm wondering if any of you have daughters or sons in the music program that are singers. I am an aspiring musician and am starting to train to audition for the music program for the Navy *haven't done boot camp yet* and am looking for...

- Lisa- I'm a Navy mom in Washington State. We had a Navy rock band performing at the 4th of July celebration here in Poulsbo. I have some sorta okay pictures I snapped with my cell phone. Do you know of anyone with a sailor in Navy Band Seattle that might was to see them? That is their home command I believe.

Lori in the Northeast said… - we could have flown to Japan anytime in the past 2 years as my husband is retired military (also a musician). We fly space available. I could never talk myself into going so far since I just had back surgery and the pain meds I was on for 5 weeks caused panic attacks. To go there, it would be 16 hours closed in on a plane and sitting is what hurts my back the most. Otherwise, we would have definitely gone.

- Hi Lisa, I just joined your group, Lisa (below) told me about your group! I've been looking for other moms - I know another mom, Lori and I'll send her the name of the group - her son is also in Japan but will be moving back to the states this summer.

Lisa in Michigan said… - Hi Lisa, Thanks for answering back. I was interested in your group because one of my best friends on here has a daughter in the Navy band. She just recently arrived in Japan. You are right about changing the name of your group. Moms of Navy Musicians does describe it better. I will let my friend Kathy know about your group and I'm sure she would love to talk to another mom of a musician. And yes, the change in them is amazing because it seems to happen so quick. I haven't seen my son in almost 18 months. He is planning on coming home in August with his new wife (whom I have yet to meet.) I miss him so much. It's so nice to meet you. I'm going to go tell Kathy now. :) I'll be in touch.
