Join us on July 25, 2024 at 7 PM, as the U.S. Navy Band Cruisers perform at the National Museum of the Marine Corps The U.S. Navy Band Cruisers, the Navy premier popular music group, features nine of the Navy's most dynamic performers. Formed in 1999, the group takes its name from the Navy's versatile, flexible, multi-missioned ship the Cruiser and the band lives up to its namesake with the capability of playing a variety of musical genres ranging from jazz standards, rhythm blues, classic rock, adult contemporary and pop, as well as original material. This elite group has engaged and excited audiences of all ages throughout the U.S. and abroad with world-class musicianship and high energy, fun-filled performances. In addition to public concerts and educational outreach appearances, the Cruisers are in constant demand by the most senior government and military officials, including the president, secretary of the Navy and the chief of naval operations. Their show-stopping appearances on Navy birthday concerts, holiday concerts, national tours and summer concert series performances are always a highlight.
