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.

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.

AYLE Simulator

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

The Immersa-Domes are designed to feel like aircraft carrier ready room chairs. A visual display lowers over participant’s heads and a short movie is played. The movie, which depicts a fighter jet being launched from an aircraft carrier, is started in conjunction with the immersion effect. Participants are immersed in the 180 degree view of the movie which includes the sound and even smell of a carrier flight deck.
