215th Army Band: Official Party
⌖ Court of Honor Stage
Concerts. The 215th Army Band of the Massachusetts Army National Guard is one of America’s premier military music ensembles. For over 60 years, this exceptional group of citizen-soldiers has entertained audiences across New England and around the world—delivering powerful performances that tell the Army story through music. From classic rock and pop favorites to modern hits, Official Party brings the energy of a live rock band to community events, festivals, and concert stages throughout Massachusetts. While their sound may be a little different from the traditional military band, their mission remains the same: connect with audiences, represent the Army, and use music to bring people together. Official Party is proud to be part of the 215th Army Band’s long tradition of serving Soldiers and communities through music—and they’re always ready to turn up the volume when the mission calls. The 215th Army Band performs under the direction of CW4 Stephen Martins and First Sergeant Amaranth Cole. Interested in serving as a musician in the Army National Guard?
