The Washington Commanders announced on Thursday that its marching band would make a return for the 2022 season.

"We are very excited to bring back the marching band with a new sound as we enter the inaugural season of the Washington Commanders," said Joey Colby-Begovich, the Commanders' vice president of guest experience.

"We have continually emphasized the return of traditions that have lived with the Franchise for decades, and this is something we have prioritized in the rebrand process with the hiring of Maestro Jeffrey Sean Dokken, the team's first ever Music Director, and Brittney Lynn, the Band Director, who will work together to oversee efforts for enhancing the fan experience on gameday through creating and combining new and old music traditions."

The ensemble will consist of 60 members and be composed of various instruments, including woodwinds, brass, and percussion. The band, in its latest iteration, will "debut at the Commanders Training Camp this summer."

The team is also offering an open invitation for local musicians to audition for the group.

"The return of the marching band is part of the next phase of the team's rebrand process, during which the team will work closely with fans to pull forward traditions under a new banner, including new, and newly revived, musical traditions," the Commanders said.

Founded in 1937, it is the oldest marching band in the NFL. It was once an "all-volunteer ensemble that pioneered halftime entertainment."
