U.S. Embassy welcomes Military Band to Guyana
Members of the GDF joined their counterparts from the visiting US Military Band during the latter’s visit to Guyana.
Last week, 10 members of the Florida National Guard’s 13th Army Band of Pembroke Pines, Florida, visited Guyana to lead a subject matter exchange that resulted in exciting performances and educational sessions with the Guyana Defence Force Band, the Guyana Police Force Band, music students, and youths.
The 13th Army Band was featured at the Embassy’s Independence Day celebration on July 2, 2014, performing a number of songs to highlight the “Cities of America” theme.
With the entire state of Florida as its Area of Operations, the 13th Army Band has performed from Miami to Tallahassee, and everything in between.
Over the years, the band has traveled overseas on cultural exchange assignments, including to the Dominican Republic, St. Kitts, and Morocco.
In 2011 and 2012, the band was deployed to Guyana to assist in developing relations between the Guyana Defence Force Military Band and the Florida National Guard and to help foster goodwill with the Guyanese citizens.
