Additional Information/Guidance

Participation in public events will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine their eligibility per government and military regulations, as well as the availability of the band. Please note that participation in political, fundraising, religious, private and commercial events is typically prohibited.

The band will not commit more than 90 days in advance of any scheduled event. Requests for the band should be submitted approximately 90 days prior to the event, but must be submitted no less than 30 days prior to the event. Requests sent for events scheduled more than 90 days in the future will be kept on file and reviewed when eligible.

Requests will be considered as quickly as possible. In the event that a request has not been approved or denied within 10 business days after submission, please call the band at 843-228-2015.

Potential event sponsors may download a band sponsor package for information about the band, including history, marketing info and band member biographies.
