School Concert Series
The U.S. Coast Guard Band presents the 28th annual School Concert Series. This year the program is entitled, ¡Latin Tour, En Fuego! Highlighting different regions around the globe, students will hear different composer’s styles and the unique use of instruments and rhythm.
Background
The USCG Band School Concerts have become a staple of our annual commitment to educating and entertaining Connecticut students. Each year we bring up to 9000 students, faculty and staff to the Academy for these concerts, thus increasing the awareness of the community about the Coast Guard Band, and the Coast Guard in general.

The Coast Guard Band School Concerts are 45-50 minutes in length, geared toward grades 4-8. Concerts begin at 10:00 a.m. in Leamy Hall Auditorium. We ask that schools arrive and be seated by 10:00.
Security
The United States Coast Guard Academy is a military base, and as such, we have requests from security for the schools attending of our concerts. Schools will be required to provide a list of chaperone names, number of buses used to transport students, and follow loading and unloading procedures described below.
Loading/Unloading
Upon arriving to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, buses will be directed to Leamy Hall. Teachers/Band Directors: Please wait to unload students from buses until directed to do so by Coast Guard Personnel. Buses will be loaded by school in the order in which they arrived.
