The Musical Army

It is the only military unit where soldiers actually have to smile, the only unit where the soldiers' voices are louder than their commanders' and the only one where the servicemen make use of their own personal weapons: their artistic skills and musical instruments. Their function in the army is to keep the spirits of those fighting on the frontline high in the times of war and to remind people of their great deeds and bravery in the times of peace.
