Commissioning Week is upon us and the entire Naval Academy community once again celebrates the achievements of the incredible men and women who have made it through 4 years by the bay. This year's graduating class of 2024 has overcome some particularly unique obstacles having entered Plebe Summer during the thick of the pandemic years, but adapted and overcame challenges nonetheless. They will no doubt continue to thrive as they serve their nation as commissioned officers.
Music has been a part of these midshipmen lives, whether they were involved in a musical activity or not. Each of their voices has sung Navy Blue and Gold and the Star Spangled Banner more times than they can probably remember and they've marched in time to the music of the Drum and Bugle Corps and Pipes and Drums. These melodies bind us together as alumni and patriots and we know you'll likely be humming one of them for the rest of your day (you're welcome).
Let's all show our support for the Class of 2024 and their legacy with a contribution to FONAM. These contributions directly benefit music programs and all midshipmen by keeping USNA music alive.
