Read more about this incredible band below:
The 129th Army Band of the Tennessee Army National Guard has a long and distinguished history serving Tennessee and the United States in peacetime as well as during armed conflict. The group traces its lineage back to the earliest units of the Tennessee Militia that protected the early colonial settlements and routed the British at the Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780. The band was called to active duty during Operation Desert Storm. They have performed for presidents, world fairs, and overseas in countries including Colombia and Turkey. The 129th Army Band has been the official band for the Tennessee inaugural since Governor Gordon Browning and represented Tennessee in the 1992 Presidential Inaugural Parade in Washington, DC. The 129th Army Band is headquartered at Houston Barracks in Nashville, Tennessee, and is led by Chief Warrant Officer Billy Stepp and First Sergeant Tim Keyser.
Since its inception, the 129 Army Band has represented the state of Tennessee and the Tennessee Army National Guard proudly. From playing at two World’s Fairs to marching in a Presidential Inaugural Parade, the 129 Army Band has been called on to perform countless times across the globe. On two occasions they played for the US Ambassador of Columbia, South America as well as in Izmir, Turkey, in support of NATO and have relieved numerous active duty bands at such places as Ft. Monroe, Virginia, the United States Military Academy at West Point, and Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. In addition, the 129 Army Band was one of two reserve bands called to active duty in support of Operation Desert Storm.
The 129 Army Band’s most rewarding job is supporting the troops and families of the TN National Guard. The 129th has established itself as a premier National Guard Band and continues to perform at the highest level of professionalism every time they are called upon to represent the state of TN and the USA.
