Providing a musical backdrop for many of the State of Texas’s most notable events, the 36th Infantry Division Band has earned a statewide and national reputation for extraordinary musicianship. The “Lone Star” band is comprised of 55 musicians from across the State of Texas whose principle function is to support both military and civilian ceremonies.

Annual events include performing in Austin in support of the Governor of Texas and the Texas Military Department, both Veterans and Independence Day parades, and the Memorial Day Remembrance at Sun City in Georgetown. Additional performance opportunities include concerts, educational outreach, professional and collegiate athletic events, and protocol support and tours for the State of Texas international partners Chile, the Czech Republic, and Egypt.

The 36th Infantry Division Band is a three time recipient of the COL George S. Howard Citation of Musical Excellence for Military Concert Bands presented by the John Philip Sousa Foundation. The unit offers a wide array of active performing ensembles including multiple chamber groups, the T-Patch Big Band, and the award winning Arrowhead Ceremonial Drill Band and “Lone Star” Concert Winds.
