Some performances feel special because of the music. Others stay with us because of the people making it.
When the U.S. Fleet Forces Navy Band: Four‑Star Edition comes to Highlands, audiences will get both.
The ensemble is part of the official Navy music program, a proud tradition that dates back to 1925, when the U.S. Navy Band was formally established to boost morale, strengthen community ties, and represent the Navy at public events across the country. Today, U.S. Fleet Forces’ musicians carry that tradition forward with thousands of performances each year, from military ceremonies to national celebrations, sharing a legacy of service through music.
Four‑Star Edition is one of the Navy’s premier contemporary ensembles, celebrated for its bright, polished sound and its easy command of a wide musical range – modern hits, Latin rhythms, country favorites, and classic rock and roll. Their mission is simple and deeply rooted: to connect with audiences of all ages, represent the Navy with excellence, and bring people together through music.
It’s not often that Highlands has the chance to welcome a military ensemble of this caliber. Their visit to the Plateau is both an honor and a reminder of a long tradition: military bands traveling into communities large and small to offer moments of joy, pride, and connection.
On Saturday, September 26, from 1:30 to 3:30 P.M., Four‑Star Edition will take the stage at Kelsey‑Hutchinson Founders Park for a spirited performance that promises to be one of the day’s standout moments.
Their performance will be the centerpiece of the afternoon, but it’s also part of a larger celebration. The Highlands Heritage Jamboree continues throughout the day with music, food, and community traditions that honor the Plateau’s history. The Navy Band’s appearance adds a special note to the celebration, blending the sounds of service with the sounds of the mountains.
Whether you come for Four‑Star Edition, the Jamboree, or simply the pleasure of spending a September afternoon outdoors, the Navy Band’s performance is a rare opportunity – a chance to welcome extraordinary musicians whose work carries meaning far beyond the stage, and far beyond the Plateau.
