The Green Beret Marching Band under the direction of Jack Schroeder is proudly entering their 60th season and stands as the only summer musical organization that is devoted to the youth of Rock County. Formed in 1966 the Green Beret Band was formed to provide a positive summer music experience with a focus on personal growth and entertainment over competition and continues the same focus to this day. Over 60 years the Green Beret Band has traveled and performed through the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, South Dakota, Indiana, West Virginia, and Washington DC. Along with many cities in Canada.

With a combined total of nearly 300 years of marching experience with the Green Beret Band our staff is one of the most dedicated groups of people you will find.

The Green Beret Band is open to anyone ages 10-21 with a desire to play music and compete at a high level with minimal cost.
