Unfortunately his failing health and untimely death prevented him from seeing the building completed. Brucker Hall was dedicated in April 1978 and consists of two rehearsal studios, both of which can be used for public performances . The larger of the two studios was dedicated to Colonel Loboda posthumously. Brucker Hall also houses The Army Band's music library and contains recording facilities, offices and storage facilities. All facilities at Fort Myer are open normal hours, but the threat condition is currently 'Charlie'.
All activities are open for business as usual.
Security remains high, however, and entrance to both installations will be delayed as Military Police inspect vehicles and check ID cards. All unregistered vehicles will be inspected. Visitors will also be asked to state their business and show identification. Hatfield and Wright Gates will be open 24 hours, and will be the Fort Myer visitor gates. Non-registered vehicles will be sent to one of the other gates.
