A descendant of the Army Guard’s famed 32nd “Red Arrow” Division bands of World War I and World War II, today’s 132D Army Band is an exceptional band of outstanding musicians. The band features at the Inaugurations of Wisconsin governors, supports military customs and ceremonies, and performs community outreach throughout the state of Wisconsin through music. Previously, the 132D has provided honors for the President of the United States, commissioned the battleship USS Wisconsin, performed 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 and Hawaii, and Oklahoma. Members of the 132D Army Band include professional civilian musicians, from educators and performers to students.
