On-Corps: Music & Community for Veterans
Give the Gift of Music to Those Who Served
On-Corps is San Antonio's free concert and jazz band program exclusively for veterans, requiring no prior musical experience. Under the direction of retired military musicians, veterans of all ages discover the joy of making music together while building meaningful connections.
Your Support Makes a Difference:
- Provides instruments and instructional materials at no cost to participants
- Enables weekly rehearsals with professional guidance
- Supports performances that celebrate veterans' achievements
From beginners to intermediate players, On-Corps offers a supportive community where veterans from their 30s to their 80s learn, grow, and perform together. With three ensembles—the Alamo Band, Missions Band, and 210 Jazz Band—there's a place for everyone.
Impact in Their Words:
"I felt so fulfilled when I stepped on that stage for my first performance and so blessed for this opportunity."
"The results have added joy, renewed meaning and purpose to me personally and to the many veterans benefitting from On-Corps."
" On-Corps has allowed me to work on my skills in a non-judgmental fun setting, with other veterans who understand. It provides me the mental and physical therapy I desperately need…”
