Navy Band The Destroyers set to play at Colorado Mesa University

National performers bring musical talent to the CMU outdoor plaza

The Southwest Navy Band is among the nation's premier popular music groups. The Destroyers provide a high energy show incorporating genres that reflect a number of different performance missions and a diversity of musical expression.

The group covers popular genres from Latin and country to pop and classic rock-and-roll. When the talent of The Destroyers is combined with the outdoor venue at CMU, the musical experience is one not to miss. 

"A number of CMU and WCCC student veterans served in the Navy," said CMU President Tim Foster. "Their hard work to bring this talented national act to campus helps showcase CMU as a venue and demonstrates what student veterans do to enhance campus life."
