The successful candidate will be responsible for preparing the band for performances in parades and concerts throughout New England and periodic trips to the American Legion National Convention.

Since then she has been succeeded by Lawrence Gilbo and Edward Russo. The band has performed in concerts and parades throughout the U.S. and in many foreign countries. Some of the trips the band has taken include Russia, Ireland, UK, Hawaii, Salt Lake City, Reno and Louisville.

The band rehearses on Monday evenings 7:00-9:00pm at the Waltham American Legion Post 156, 15 Waverley Oaks Road, Waltham, MA.
