#TBT: Today we look back to a short film from 1943. At this time, the 90-member U.S. Navy Band was under the direction of Lt. Charles Brendler. Brendler served the #USNavy an incredible 49 years - most of which was with the Navy Band - and was the first Navy musician to earn the rank of Commander. The film was produced by the prolific Gordon Hollingshead who was nominated for 16 Academy Awards, winning six times. #NavyMusic #WWII The Academy | United States Navy Band
