This site is devoted to the men and women of the 82nd Army Band that was located in Stuttgart, Germany (disband on February 27, 1975) and the 84th Army Band that was located in Fulda, Germany and on February 27, 1975 moved to Stuttgart, Germany (replacing the 82nd Army Band). The band was deactivated in 1992.

The Bands were stationed at Kelly Barracks in Stuttgart, Möhringen. This was the Headquarters for the Seventh Corps (see patch at left). The nickname for the VII Corps was "Jayhawk". Commanding Generals for VII Corps during that time included:

• Lt. Gen. George S. Blanchard - March 1973 - June 1975
• Lt. Gen. Frederick J. Kroesen - July 1975 - October 1976
• Lt. Gen. David E. Ott - October 1976 - October 1978
• Lt. Gen. Julius W. Becton Jr. - October 1978 - June 1981
  

Currently, a group of ex-bandsmen from these organizations have come together to develop this site. Most of these ex-bandsmen were in the band between 1973 - 1978 and were located in Stuttgart. Full access to this site will be made available to any past member of either band. To gain access to the site or provide information about the band, please e-mail Ed Schwartz:
