"Oregon's Own" |
|
The 234th Army Band is the Oregon National Guard’s ambassadors to the State of Oregon. Organized in 1919, the band has seen duty in the Pacific during WWII and was awarded several citations including the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation for service from October 17, 1944 to July 4, 1945 |
| Serving the State of Oregon, our Nation, and our local communities since 1919, the
Citizen-Soldiers of the 234th Army Band provide music for all occasions with numerous ensembles. The band has performed throughout the northwestern United States, Hawaii, Panama, Australia, Guam and Papau New Guinea for all branches of the Armed Forces and State Department. As the official military band of Oregon, unit members have enjoyed performing for many of the official State functions, such as the Governor's Inauguration, official visits of United States dignitaries including the President of the United States, and numerous foreign leaders. In times of disaster, the band has supported the needs of our local communities in multiple roles, including providing support services for the state of Louisiana during the hurricane Katrina crisis.
