Military bands have a long tradition of supporting and entertaining service members and civilians with music. In Wisconsin, the National Guard's 132nd Army Band keeps the tradition alive and thriving with approximately 60 citizen-Soldier-musicians who travel the state, the country and even the world with a variety of music that everybody enjoys.

A descendant of the Army Guard's famed 32nd "Red Arrow" Division bands of World War I and World War II, today's 132nd Army Band is an exceptional band of outstanding musicians. The band inaugurates Wisconsin governors, has played honors for the President of the United States, helped commission the battleship USS Wisconsin, has played with the Milwaukee and Beloit/Janesville Symphony Orchestras, commemorated the fiftieth anniversary of the Wisconsin Guard's World War II service in Australia, welcomed home each of the Wisconsin Guard's Desert Storm units, and played for military ceremonies and public performances in Germany.
