The 208th Army Band history began in 1956 when the band was activated as the 100th Division Band. In 2008 the band was assigned as a separate unit under the 81st Regiment Support Command and relocated to Concord, N.C. CW3 Timothy J. Lyden, Commander/Bandmaster, earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education from Youngstown State University, and he currently has 26 years of military service. The band performs concerts and military marches for active duty troops and the civilian population. Selected musicians are members of combo and jazz ensembles within the band.
