This 1969 film by the Chief of Naval Operations' Office of Information shows the U.S. Navy Band in rehearsal and performance, as well as detailing the history and operational requirements of the organization.
It's about a half hour long, and is surprisingly frank, including a little salty language during rehearsal.
Frank Mullen's very unofficial source of poop, skinny and bitching for present and former U.S. Navy Musicians.

Thanks for putting this out. I got to the band the summer of 1970 and recognized most of the band members. Brought back a lot of good memories........ Thanks again

The film may have been released in 1969; however, it was made earlier as LCDR Mitchell retired on December 31 1968. The photo is of LCDR Mitchell, MUC Dick Bain and LT Muffley.
