About the 215th Army Band

The 215th Army Band of the Massachusetts Army National Guard remains one of the nation’s finest military bands. For more than 60 years, the band has performed throughout New England and the world, bringing the Army’s fine musical traditions and goodwill to thousands of listeners.

The unit is divided into small groups known as Musical Performance Teams (MPTs). The musical diversity of these M.P.T.s ranges from pop music, small classical quintets, Fife and Drum Corps, New Orleans Brass Band, to a vocal quintet which performs at major sporting events.

This program is presented  as part of the commemoration of the Boston Harbor Islands’ 25th anniversary as a National Park and 50th anniversary as a State Park.
