Dedicated to promoting and continuing
the Great American Concert Band tradition
since 1920

The Milwaukee American Legion Band is a non-profit organization consisting of talented and dedicated musicians from all over Southeastern Wisconsin. An award-winning group with an over-85-year history, the Band specializes in traditional and patriotic Concert Band music – music that captures the very heart of American culture.

The Band rehearses weekly throughout the year in preparation for performances during its season. These include concerts, ceremonies, processions and parades of all types, including small groups and the entire symphonic concert ensemble. The repertoire includes popular music, marches and symphonic pieces.
