We all know that Disney World is the master at creating magical experiences for its visitors. From meeting classic characters to its Fantasmic fireworks display, there are countless ways the park creates a unique experience for visitors. One of the ways this magic is made is right up The Music Man’s street, and that is, of course, the musicians that perform at the parks. One of the most beloved musical troupes is that of the Green Army Drum Corps.
Based on Andy’s toy soldiers from the Toy Story franchise, the Green Army Drum Corps combines traditional military-style drumming with the entertainment factor found across the Disney parks. One video of their act became extremely popular online, receiving over 1.8M views in the last year. It showcases their incredible drumming talent, as well as the drummers singing a snippet of Toy Story’s iconic theme ‘You’ve Got a Friend in Me’ by Randy Newman.
Here at The Music Man, we love immersive experiences, and one of the elements that make the Green Army Drum Corps so special is that they wander throughout Toy Story Land, performing among the visitors. In fact, they are not the only live musical act at Disney World that performs amidst the guests. The Main Street Philharmonic Marching Band also brings their traditional military-style marching band to the streets of the Magic Kingdom to provide visitors with the magic of music.

Playing in a traditional jazz marching band style, The Mainstreet Philharmonic Marching Band covers many of the songs from Disney’s classic films, such as ‘Cinderella,’ as well as more modern releases, such as ‘Encanto.’ They also perform big band hits and swing standards. With an irregular schedule, it is always a pleasant surprise for visitors when they get to see the band perform – and perhaps even join in themselves, as the Marching Band often hands out maracas for the audience to play along.
Readers of The Music Man just love it when a musical act has something different and unique to offer, and that’s exactly what the likes of the Green Army Drum Corps and The Mainstreet Philharmonic Marching Band do. Bringing their musical talents into the hubbub of the park’s action delivers the magic of music directly to the park’s visitors and adds an extra special layer to their trip. At a theme park where every detail is carefully considered, these performances turn a simple stroll through the park into a musical adventure, creating an overall unforgettable experience for all who visit.
