When is the best time to request musical support?

You can request the United States Naval Academy Band at any time, but the earlier the better. As a matter of policy, we cannot confirm the band's participation earlier than 90 days prior to a military event and 60 days prior to a public event. This minimizes the possibility of preemption due to scheduling conflicts and support required here at the Naval Academy. Therefore, after your request has been received and accepted, a band representative will contact you or your staff within the 60 or 90 day period to discuss the band's availability and performance requirements.
