What is the uniform this NCO is wearing at the Fort Moore Redesignation Ceremony?

I've never seen this uniform before. At first, I thought it was a Marine uniform, but the awards, attachments, and rank show that it is a Army uniform. Any insight?

Everyone is saying band, BUT band uniforms have inverted stripes. Also the two photos show two different service caps.

The Army Ceremonial Band NCOs wear their chevrons upside down, and the headgear does not match. I am willing to bet, based on the headgear, the collar devices are also not the same as the band. The color of the jacket is not the proper color. I would bet that he SGT. works for a collegiate ROTC program, and is wearing the color assigned by/to the school's program. When working for the ROTC program, soldiers are generally authorized to wear their rank, and authorized awards. The Sgt. may be addressing a graduation class.

This is a high collar honor guard uniform. Each base has an honor guard detail. This is one of their uniforms. The red can signify artillery or police…not sure about that but that is an honor guard uniform. I will try to google and suggest others do as well. I believe if you google examples of high collar honor guard army uniforms, you will find this. Happy hunting.

That is the uniform of the US Army Choir. They do not wear the old Cav stripes. Look at the insignia on his hat…..

West Point has its own Band, with its own traditional uniform. West Point would still be a training command, and they do need their music, I would have thought it would be made up of cadets, but I guess you can't have 40 members of the cadet corps continually studying music. Where would 40 commissioned officers with a bachelors degree in music go every year, Infantry? Cav? Probably not.

At first glance I thought it was a soviet soldier, but what do I know. I served at three bases, Jackson, Polk and Benning and I'll go to my grave calling them correctly. I was born in the North and my direct great grandfather fought for the North yet if you search the last name many Grindstaff's fought for what they thought was right, the south. Cancel culture is destroying this country.

The uniform is a band member, or member of an Army choir. Look closely at the insignia on the hat!

This Soldier is a member of the US Military Academy Band. All three of the Army's Special Bands, i.e., The US Army Band "Pershing's Own," The US Army Field Band, and the USMA Band, wear similar tunics. The quickest way to tell them apart is by looking at their stripes. TUSAB wears inverted (point down) stripes on their ceremonial uniform, the USMA stripes are white, and TUSAFB wears the same stripes that are on the Army Blue Uniform.

At first I'm thinking stolen valor because it looks like a cross between an Army and Marine uniform, and that's just weird, But I did look it up. West Point Band. I guess they don't get the red hat and upside down NCO rank in that band? Glad that got pointed out because that one looked a little tricky. You don't see that one everyday, except maybe at the football game when Army is getting Navy's goat. (at the 1 yard line)

The West Point band is one of the three “Special Bands” in the Army. They get their own style of dress blues which set them apart from all other Army bands.
