I didn't know the ARMY band were so varied. What a cool way to serve if music is your thing.

[@TheWalkerCristopherPerez]

yes if the music is your thing and you want to be a soldier, you can not be more happier about it...

[@lydiaelizabethgarrido2191]

Broo I see my friend in this video (he plays guitar) and man am I so proud of him. Our high school band teacher inspired so many of his students to follow their passion (he serves part time in the Guam Army National Guard while being a band director) and he's been a huge inspiration not only to me, but to a lot of musicians around Guam. I've been wanting to serve my island and country through music for about 5 years now. I will be scheduling to take my ASVAB in the next couple of months (hopefully) and I'm ready to work hard to become a musician in the US Army. Woohoo! 🇺🇸🎶🇬🇺

[@bread976]

I know who you’re talking about. I graduated with him, great guy.

[@lilal8848]

So how'd it go?

[@jojo-uw8tx]

Ayeee Guam mention !! I’m about to leave for BCT/AIT and am part of the GUARNG. Not 42R, am 68W but I definitely wouldn’t be complaining if I was 42R 😁

[@JTheMan1]

​@@lilal8848 yeah I'm curious too it's been years hopefully they took the ASVAB and followed their dreams!

[@tyronmegawatts6580]

As a soldier I really appreciated the Army band.

[@StanCope]

30+ years doing this with the US Army. It's legit, and the musicians are top notch.

[@tonyrod3332]

Watching from the army school of music. Great program!!! Can't wait to get to my duty station in August

[@tonyrod3332]

@professionalfangster1510 I’m headed to the Hawaiian Islands!

[@JewelzFin]

My CO laughed at me for choosing 19D over 42R after he heard me playing the Trumpet and Piano when I lived in the barracks..... Two weeks later I was on Funeral Detail as the bugle horn player and he laughed at me again.

[@ryan215553]

Airborne and playing 🤣 imagine jumping out of a plane while playing a guitar!

[@spc.callahan1462]

This MOS is awesome! I stil prefer blowing stuff up, tho.

[@RainNRory]

The rock band came to my high school today, it was so cool. Plus I got out of honors English and part of bio med.

[@leocasi405]

Must be a dream job.

[@MossedGaming]

The army gotta have people to boost their attack damage percentages yk

[@soldierboywannabe267]

They god hard tbh

[@RealShurikenX]

Intrigued by the thought of playing bass or running sound for the military. Steady income instead of gig work plus benefits and structure. Seems like a good deal, for all that i spent at a music school that i fear is going to waste. Can't read music to save my life though. :/

[@iraccoon8830]

Do I still have to pull SD and be on SGM detail though?

[@isaacrivera4618]

What do musicians do all day on base while stationed ??

[@blazaking2176]

Currently waiting on my thumbs up if I'm accepted or not haha

[@wordsbykatarina]

Were you?

[@Fit_soldier]

Did you

[@rafaeltorres-rivera1669]

I played with a lot of guys from Berkley school of music that joined. So these aren’t off the street musicians.

[@zercules9156]

its Julliard with PT

[@elyssemarie1140]

all of this sounds so exciting but do you have to audition to get in? Is there a way I can go to boot camp and learn as I go? I am amature with the guitar and piano and singing... These skills I want to advance in but I wont be able to join if I cant perform what they want in the audition and that sucks...

[@bungusussytheii1077]

02:17 they say it right there. Yes you have to audition.

[@YaYaMoAffetuoso]

Yes you have to audition first. I just had my audition on bass guitar and I was accepted! I leave for basic training in January.

[@thegroovesarge]

Awesome! You need anything let me know. Welcome from a fellow bass player!

[@C-mereSSBU]

@@YaYaMoAffetuoso How long did it take to prepare? How long did it take to get the thumbs up to enlist?

[@the_queen_redeemed]

I wanna be a vocalist not no musician I can't play no instrument at all

[@dleesnuts]

The Army has slots for vocalists, talk to your local recruiter.

[@TheRiseOfDaren]

If I zero in music but willing to learn, can I still apply for this MOS ? Because I saw in the video that i have to audition to get in and I don’t know how to play any instruments !

[@daultontemplet4016]

Go to the Army's website on the 42R MOS. They prefer players with a bachelor's or higher in music performance, and you must pass the audition. Are you in school?

[@donaldthompson7766]

You don't need school for those skills.

[@richardcabral4816]

How much time they have with basic combat training?

[@javijaybird8a907]

11 weeks I believe check army strong site

[@philthethotdestroyer4194]

all basic training is the same 10 weeks no matter the MOS unless maybe they have OSUT

[@yavin99]

I went to basic with a guy with this MOS in 1993.

[@marcuswalton2922]

In ordrer to be an Army Musician, don't one have to know how to play an instrument, before entering the Army?

[@marlonmoncrieffe0728]

Yes, you do. They do NOT teach you.

[@tl1358]

What the hell is that at 1:08 ? That Bandmaster should be fired for running a high school band.

[@dleesnuts]

You're misunderstanding what you're seeing.

[@janmusil4537]

That's called show program. Military band's do such stuff often. People like it.

[@foonerd4465]

Wtf haha

[@philthethotdestroyer4194]

is this a joke ?

[@leochavez6833]

Nope :) I'm switching my MOS to this

[@BrassoMagnus]

Phil The Thot Destroyer Nope. Been in this MOS 15 years.

[@janmusil4537]

Why it should be a joke. There are so many military bands in the world.

[@benevolent2077]

"yeah i was in the military" what did you do? "was in a band" lol
