The United States Navy Band’s 2025 National Tour will make a special stop in Fayetteville, Georgia, bringing a unique blend of patriotic music and community pride to Fayette County High School. As part of their nationwide tour celebrating 250 years of Navy service, the U.S. Navy Concert Band, Sea Chanters chorus, and Cruisers popular music group will perform in cities across Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida from March 11 to April 2. This dynamic musical production will feature a variety of genres—from traditional wind band repertoire to Broadway showstoppers, pop hits, and beloved patriotic favorites—sure to engage audiences of all ages.
One of the most exciting elements of the Fayetteville performance is the return of one of their own, MU1 Laura Zitelli. A proud alum of Fayette County High School, MU1 Zitelli has long embodied the spirit of service and excellence, and her connection to the local community adds a personal touch to this monumental tour stop. As part of the concert program, audience members will not only enjoy world-class music but also witness the embodiment of the Navy’s core values—honor, courage, and commitment—represented by a local hero.
In addition to the Navy Band ensembles, the Fayetteville performance will also include participation from local JROTC units, Sea Cadets, and active-duty troops, highlighting the strong bond between the military and the community. The event promises to be a celebration of music, service, and unity, as local military personnel and families join together to share in this remarkable tribute to the Navy’s century-long legacy of service to America.
The 2025 National Tour, which marks 100 years of the U.S. Navy Band, is part of a larger series of events commemorating the Navy’s 250th anniversary. This milestone celebrates the Navy’s enduring commitment to defending freedom and safeguarding America’s interests worldwide. By bringing the Navy’s music to cities where ships cannot go, the U.S. Navy Band continues to inspire patriotism, foster community connections, and represent the more than 330,000 active-duty sailors serving around the globe.
