The 395th Army Reserve Band’s members are soldier-civilians: alongside their military service, they work in fields ranging from health care to music education. The band performs at the Oklahoma History Center on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 11 a.m. to noon, offering an hour of music that can stand alone or be part of a museum visit.
Based in Mustang, the 395th is one of 13 Army Reserve Bands in the United States. The event listing describes its members as soldier-civilians with civilian work that includes health care and music education—a useful bit of context for a group whose work spans military service and other professions.
The listing confirms a concert but does not name the repertoire or a musical style. Visitors should plan for the announced performance rather than expect a particular set of songs.

The concert is free; visiting the galleries is a separate admission decision. The History Center describes five galleries covering more than 50 topics and 2,000 artifacts, with subjects including Native culture, pioneers, aviation and commerce. That gives visitors a substantial museum option before or after the performance, but gallery access is not included with the concert.
The museum’s Saturday docent tour creates a timing complication: it starts at 11:30 a.m., halfway through the concert, and lasts about 90 minutes. Guests may join when they arrive, and tours are included with regular museum admission, but doing both activities in full is not a straightforward sequence. Check with the museum about the logistics; a Saturday tour at another time can be requested in advance.
