Talk:United States military bands

message: Sorry, but it is NOT true that all but one band is in the Washington, DC area. indeed, the bands of the National Guard are in their home States, while the various Divisional bands are with the divisions they belong to. When I have the time I will create a list for you. SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 21:16, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  LOCATIONS OF US MILITARY BANDS 

message: All the different bands should have their own articles. This page is too long.--Jiang 01:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Many people confuse the bands, particularly the Army Band and the Army Field Band. Although splitting the article for each band is a good idea, there should still be one central article which delineates the premier bands to avoid confusion between them.  13 May 200768.48.123.24 20:02, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. One central article to focus the reader, with separate Main Articles to handle the details. - SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 15:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It would probably make sense to split this into articles for each branch of service and then go into details from there. There are enough differences between the missions and organization of the bands in the various branches that it would be easier to catalog them that way.Bullmand 02:36, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to disagree with this last point, but I still feel that a split is an excellent idea. I am loathe to perform it myself, however, knowing just about nothing about any band besides the USMC ones that already have thier own articles. bahamut0013♠♣ 00:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that this article should be split to cover band specifics while retaining the central article for general information about all the bands. At any rate, the current version is a mess, with some bands but not others getting their own infobox. The table of contents is all balled up, occurring as it does in the middle of the US Army Band section. Binksternet (talk) 14:18, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Abo2k4.jpg

message: Hi; hoping someone here might have some info on Spanish-American War-era bands; my grandfather Endre Johannes Cleven was in, according to family files and an old news clipping from his obit, "the US Army Musical Corps" but that's pretty unspecific; he was with the 203rd New York Volunteers so maybe it was a unit band?  Should I just redirect US Army Musical Corps here or leave it as a redlink until something better/more accurate as a link comes along?Skookum1 (talk) 15:50, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Spanish-American War "US Army Musical Corps"

message: The article is incomplete and disorganized and looks like a work in progress. Has someone been designated as a lead author or is working on it? Virgil H. Soule (talk) 17:21, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revision Needed 

message: Perhaps contributor 72.81.215.211 would like to create a new article, e.g., "U.S. Army bands". One of his/her edit summaries said: "There is no undue emphasis given to the Army by including the Field Band. The Marines and USCG only have 1 premier band each; the AF and Navy each have 2. The Army happens to have 4." Eagle4000 (talk) 01:00, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was thinking that editor's addition could be worked into the United States Army Band article, as the United States Army Field Band seems to me to be connected. At any rate, yes, there should be a venue on Wikipedia for that information. I've been resistant to putting it here, but I would be fully supportive of it going into its own page or folded into the other Army band page. Binksternet (talk) 01:55, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's one option (incorporating the Field Band into the United States Army Band article. Another option would be to create a new article (e.g., "U.S. Army bands"). This is how the other Navy bands are treated, at Navy Music Program (referred to at US Navy navbox as "Fleet bands"), which includes a section on the United States Navy Band.

thread_title:  possible new article re Army bands 

message: With the exception of barely one paragraph, this article is entirely focused on the few so-called "premier" military bands and their special practices. In fact, the United States has scores of military bands across the U.S., including Hawaii, and in Asia and Europe.  
This article should either be renamed to describe its content--"Special U.S. Military Bands"--or massively rewritten to include the vast number of organizations implied by the title. Fmullen (talk) 02:22, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article is misnamed.  

message: This article was a mess. I've just started redoing it from scratch. There's a lot that still needs to be done in terms of copyediting, insertion of refs, etc. LavaBaron (talk) 04:19, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
