Serving the State of Florida, our Nation, and our local communities since 1906, the citizen-soldiers of the 13th Army Band provide music for all occasions with eight distinctive ensembles.

The band has performed throughout the southern United States, Dominican Republic, Panama, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Morocco for all branches of the Armed Forces and State Department.

As the official military band of Florida, unit members have enjoyed performing for many of the official State functions, such as the Governor's Inauguration, official visits of United States dignitaries including the President of the United States, and numerous foreign leaders.

In times of disaster, the band has supported the needs of our local communities in multiple roles, including providing relief supplies from the Florida Keys to Palm Beach during Hurricane Wilma for the residents of South Florida.

Organized in February 1930 as the Band Section, Headquarters Battery, 265th Coast Artillery, the 13th Army Band has served the State of Florida and Nation for over 70 years. We present a pictorial history of the band. - Click Here
