I really appreciate these videos! I have plans to join after high school and MOS Monday really helps to show all the possibilities in a fun and fast way.
When I was in AIT at Ft Devens we put together a band for us to march to school from the barracks. I played clarinet, which I had done since grade school and HS. Later, on my own, I took up the recorder, tenor and soprano.
If you get into one of the four premier Army bands (The “Pershing’s Own” US Army Band, the US Army Field Band, The West Point Band, and the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps), you’ll come in as an E-6, and your MOS will be 42S. Musician officers are 42C, and warrant officers are 420C. Being an Army musician is definitely a fulfilling job and you’ll get tons of incredible and unique experiences that you won’t get with other jobs.
The best thing we did in Vietnam was play at dangerous fire bases. Places where the female entertainers from the Philippines and Korea would not go. We played rock and roll, soul and country western. The full band also played change of commands etc. Sometimes we played in Vietnamese villages. Once a woman told us, "leave now!" so we did. Stateside we didn't do too much, but it is a great MOS if you qualify.
Can you do a video on 15U? I finally got everything I needed to fix before I enlist done and I want to see what my options are after the asvab and 15U is my Hope's. I've been following you for awhile now and I originally asked you about Army astronauts a long time ago.
I was a 02E, which is now 42R back in the day. If you were unlucky enough to be assigned to a Division Band; e.g., 1st ID, 1st AD, etc. you had a secondary mission as an MP. That mission sucked because it was guard duty in the field. The bread and butter musical missions were change of commands, retirement ceremonies, local/regional parades, and working holidays playing concerts.
I used to have asthma but I don't have it anymore do I tell my recruiter or will he see it on my medical records ? Please help me I really wanna join the military and I don't know if this will affect me or not
I've always said that musicians are the best jobs in military. You don't get shot at. You don't drown when your ship gets torpedoed. You don't become a comet when you get shot out of the sky. But you do get to travel, stay in nice hotels instead of foxholes, and put on a show. And when you're done, you can go out on the town and pick up broads. So you have to be proficient in at least one instrument to get this MOS. OK, what about cymbals? Hell, think I can play cymbals. And I don't even know how to read music. How hard can it be? You just stand in the back and crash them together at the appropriate time. I could do that. I think the only thing easier than playing cymbals would be the conductor. You just stand in the front and wave your wand around to the beat of the music. Kind of like playing "air guitar" or "air drums", both of which I am highly proficient. I figure if I am the "Eddie Van Halen" of air guitar, or the "Neil Peart" of air drums, I sure-as-shit ought be able to wave a wand around like Leopold.
Lmao no way thats crazy i had no idea this was a thing i play 3 instruments myself and ik music theory and everything but i still want to be a 68w eitherway anyways thanks for the video.
Hey man. I'm an Army recruiter. I don't know how often you check your comments but I'd actually like to get a hold of you and talk to you about some things. If you see this, message me. I want to talk to you about some things.
Muscians were often referred to as not being 'real military' men/women when I was on bases.I want to share this vid, a song from the 80's in honor of Vietnam vets, which has become somewhat of a theme song around ANZAC day in Australia or in honour of servicemen & women. These musicians doing this cover are from The Regimental band of the NSW Lancers, now with their own YT & social media pages. The vid did the rounds on social media back home and they got quite popular and do favourite aussie cover songs etc. Maybe we dont really take notice of a military muscian's talent because they often play marching band music- which isn't most peoples taste. This woke people up though: ua-cam.com/video/U7LAo9klSRk/v-deo.html
The U.S. Army Bands select conductors each year after a competitive audition process. Both civilian and current military may apply. A minimum of a bachelor’s degree in music is required. Find more info at www.goarmy.com/band.
The conducter or bandmaster of an army band is a warrant officer. They are selected from the enlisted ranks of army musicians, go through the basic WOC course then attend an advanced course at the School of Music.
@@mtownthug Not exactly...enlisted musicians CAN be selected for these jobs, but considering the requirements for how enlisted personnel can move up to commissioned ranks in the Army, it's on the rarer side because those requirements are pretty stringent. It's mostly logistics, you can only be Enlisted for 6 or less years, be no older than 32, BUT accept the commission/go to OCS by 34...and 34 is the same age limit for joining the Army in the first place. Because musicians tend to be a bit older than most recruits when they first join, that time frame is super short. It's even shorter in the MC and CG. Navy and AF don't have nearly the amount of logistic age limit reqs for "mustangs", if at all (Found out that's the term for those who move from Enlisted to Commissioned Officer)
Conductors in general usually have a masters degree in conducting. (A bachelors degree in peformance is a requirement almost universally required to get into any university's conducting program). So I'd imagine most of them would start as commisioned officers.
My dad is currently in the Army Band at Arlington. My parents actually met in the Navy band. Cool jobs.
I have only known one Army musician during my entire Army career. Never saw any out in the field. Haha
Well, I don’t think a tuba would do any good against ISIS. Trumpets might annoy them a bit by trying to crack some high notes but that’s about it.
42R is the best MOS! I’m glad you finally made this video.

42R here, stationed at Fort Campbell!
42R stationed at Elmendorf-Richardson. Good gig.

My dad is in Pershing's Own. Going to concerts all over D.C. for free was pretty cool.
in the movie "kellys heroes" the band was used as infantry! lol!

Hey man. I'm an Army recruiter. I don't know how often you check your comments but I'd actually like to get a hold of you and talk to you about some things. If you see this, message me. I want to talk to you about some things.
I don't know how to read music notes I just know how to play instruments. Do I qualify?
No, I’m pretty sure you have to be able to read sheet music.
The ability to read music is assessed during the audition process for all disciplines except vocalists and audio engineers.

Best job in the army, triangle operator

Does your recruiter need your medical history?
Yes. U still have to be medically cleared at MEPS and all.
Can you be a conductor?
I believe so. They also have positions in this MOS to operate the sound board too.

Can you do air force security forces ?
Raul Ivan he prob won’t because he is army not Air Force he does only army videos but you never know
Pretty sure Kyle Gott has a video on Air Force Security Forces
Can you be a 42R if you're legally blind
I don't think you can be in the Army if you are legally blind but that depends on the doctors at MEPS.
