They have performed in all 50 states and 30 foreign counties for audiences totaling hundreds of millions. The joining of these two ensembles allows them to offer unparalleled versatility of programming, ranging from orchestral masterworks and operatic arias to Sousa marches, jazz classics, and Broadway musicals.

In addition to their national tours, formal concerts, chamber recitals, and educational outreach, members of the Concert Band and Soldiers' Chorus frequently represent the Army at formal and ceremonial functions including the presidential inaugural parade, presidential funerals, the Army All-American Bowl, and diplomatic efforts oversees.
