The "New" U.S. Army Field Band Distinctive Uniform

Beginning in Fall 2008, fans of The Musical Ambassadors of the Army may notice a subtle change—a new and improved uniform.

The U.S. Army recently announced the transition to the Army service uniform, phasing out the “Class A” green uniform which dates from the Korean War era. As Soldiers worldwide make this transition, The U.S. Army Field Band will also debut a new Distinctive uniform.

The cut and style of this new uniform will be the same, but the colors will closely resemble those of the new service uniform: dark and light blue trimmed in gold. In addition, rank insignia of enlisted members will return to the upper sleeve. As Soldiers representing Soldiers, we appreciate a new means of representing America’s Army.
