The mission of Navy Bands throughout the United States is to support Navy Weeks, official Navy functions, Navy Recruiting efforts and related community events in a public relations capacity. Navy bands are comprised of top rated musicians who perform in various musical units including Ceremonial and Parade Bands, Pop/Rock Bands, Brass and Woodwind Quintets and Jazz Ensembles. From time to time, specialized ensembles can also be configured to fulfill specific performance requirements. They may be authorized to perform concerts, patriotic ceremonies and parades for the general public and school concerts in support of Navy Recruiting.

Throughout the years, Navy Bands have built an excellent reputation for quality musical performances. They remain on the cutting edge of today's popular music scene by choosing a variety of selections each year from current Top 40 charts.

Their ability to play pop, rhythm and blues, dance, Motown, classic rock, modern rock, soul, hip-hop, swing, country, and disco allows them the flexibility to please all audiences and age groups.

The Navy Experience is comprised of several interactive components designed to give the public a realistic idea of what it’s like to serve in the United States Navy. The Experience includes a Flight Simulator and the Navy Experience Simulator with Immersa-Domes.

Navy Simulator

The F/A-18 Flight Simulators provide the power to simultaneously involve and communicate with the community and prospective recruits. It is programmed to move in-sync with point of view imagery presented on a large screen at the front of the simulator capsule. Integrated premium quality digital projection and surround sound technology are also included to provide a true immersive experience.

The flight simulators features the live action ride film adventure “F-18 Carrier Experience.” Designed specifically to capture the imagination of the public and future Navy recruits, this ride film presents a pilot’s perspective of an aircraft carrier take-off and landing combined with low level flying. Additionally, a “Blue Angels” ride film is available for those that may enjoy a second opportunity to further experience U.S Navy life.

There is one 20 seat mobile simulators designed on 65 foot tractor trailers and one 8 seat simulator is constructed on top of a 45 foot long tractor trailer making it easily accessible to urban areas and small venues.

Both of the mobile simulators travel the 48 contiguous United States and are featured at air shows, state fairs, shopping malls, high schools, NASCAR events and Navy Fleet Weeks. The simulators are managed and operated by Pulseworks, the leading supplier of simulation attractions for entertainment, education and marketing exhibits worldwide.

They provide young men and women an opportunity to experience the U.S. Navy's hi-tech environment and get a sense of what it's like to be a part of the Navy’s winning team.

Navy Experience

The Navy Experience Simulator gives participants a look at some of the day-to-day naval operations using actual footage via Immersa-Domes.

The simulator travels the 48 contiguous states and is showcased at state fairs, festivals and other large public events. The purpose of the Experience is to attract the attention of potential recruits and give the general public a chance to “feel” what it is like in the Navy.

The Immersa-Domes are designed to feel like aircraft carrier ready room chairs. A visual display lowers over participant’s heads to block out other senses and a short movie begins. Participants are immersed in the 180-degree view of the movie which includes the sound and even smell of a carrier flight deck and the ocean air.

The current films playing on the Experience Simulator displays all forms of the Navy (Air, Surface, Sub-Surface) in an upbeat, adrenalin inspiring presentation.

The purpose of this video is to inspire onsite prospects to engage with recruiters and demystify the Navy image that the guest may have had prior to the experience.
