WHEATLAND - Wyoming Army National Guard member Evan Bradley of the 67th Army Band recently undertook an exceptional opportunity to further his skills and leadership abilities.

Bradley successfully completed the Advanced Leader Course at the prestigious Army School of Music in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This course marked a significant milestone in his career, as he aspires to become a Staff Sergeant and take on the responsibilities of a Squad Leader.

During his time at the Army School of Music, Bradley underwent rigorous training that encompassed both musical proficiency and leadership development. The program honed his skills in conducting, performance techniques, band operations, and effective communication as a leader.

“Man, I love the Troopers,” Bradley said. “But their shows are so mentally and visually demanding!”

Bradley's dedication and commitment to his craft shone through as he successfully completed the course, demonstrating his readiness for higher levels of responsibility within the Wyoming Army National Guard.

Bradley's achievement reflects the remarkable talent and professionalism present in the 67th Army Band. As he prepares to take on his new role, his fellow bandmates and the entire community are eager to see him excel as a Staff Sergeant and Squad Leader.

In an exciting development, Bradley, accompanied by the 67th Army Band's Frontier Brass and Independence Rock groups, will soon embark on a musical journey to the heart of Wyoming. They have been invited to perform at the highly anticipated Cheyenne Frontier Days, where they will participate in three parades and one stage performance. Cheyenne Frontier Days, known as the "Daddy of 'em All," is an iconic event that celebrates the spirit of the American West.

It attracts visitors from across the country and is renowned for its vibrant parades, thrilling rodeo competitions, and world-class musical performances. The inclusion of the 67th Army Band is a testament to their exceptional musical talent and the respect they have garnered within the community. Additionally, Bradley and the band members will also grace the stage in Casper, Wyoming, for a special performance with the Casper Municipal Band. This collaboration promises to be an extraordinary showcase of musical excellence, bringing together two exceptional bands to create a harmonious experience for the audience.

As Bradley and the 67th Army Band prepare for their upcoming performances, their dedication to their craft and commitment to representing the Wyoming Army National Guard shines brightly. Their participation in these esteemed events not only highlights their individual talents but also serves as a reminder of the vital role that music plays in fostering community spirit and bringing people together.
