The Navy Fleet Band Euphonium Quartet
The Navy Fleet Band Euphonium Quartet represents the musical excellence and mission of the United States Navy’s nine Fleet Bands, which serve as musical ambassadors across the nation and around the world. Through ceremonial support, community engagement, educational outreach, and international goodwill performances, Navy Fleet Bands help connect Sailors with the public through the universal language of music while reflecting the Navy’s core values of honor, courage, and commitment.
Today’s quartet features MU2 Bryce Bowlin and MU3 John Ingram from Navy Band Great Lakes in Great Lakes, IL, MU3 Brandon Hawkins from Navy Band Northwest in Silverdale, WA, and MU2 Geoff Durbin from Navy Band Southeast in Jacksonville, FL. Though stationed across different Fleet Bands, these musicians have come together to showcase the versatility, professionalism, and collaborative spirit that define Navy Music’s support to the Navy and the Nation.
