We’re people, we’re patriots. We’re parents and kids, aunts and uncles. Some of us work, some go to school. Some are retired; some wish they were. We’re soldiers, we’re vets. Some never served, some never will. We all live in this great land. We’re citizens.

Music unites us. Some of us play professionally, some are beginners. A few have played for decades. Many haven’t touched their instruments since high school. Some aren’t even old enough for high school. We share a passion for music. We’re musicians.

We’re citizens. We’re musicians. We’re Citizen Musicians. We’re the Fort Crailo American Legion “Yankee Doodle” Band. And we’re proud to be the oldest American Legion Band in the world.
