36th US Army Band

The 36th US Army Band, sometimes known as the "Lone Star Band," was originally constituted during World War II as part of the 36th Infantry Division (Texas National Guard). The unit provided musical support, boosted troop morale, and participated in ceremonial and community events both stateside and overseas. After the war, the band continued its tradition of excellence, supporting military and public functions throughout Texas and beyond. Today, the 36th US Army Band remains an important ambassador for the Texas Army National Guard, upholding a proud legacy of service and musicianship.
