The 44th Army Band represents the 93rd Troop Command, the New Mexico \n Adjutant General and the Governor of New Mexico, and its roots can be traced back to 1590. The \n band served during significant periods of the nation’s history, most notably during World War II \n as the 200th Coast Artillery Band. On April 9, 1942, the band was surrendered to the Japanese and \n forced to march in Corregidor and on the Bataan Peninsula, thus earning their nickname “The \n Battling Bastards of Bataan.” The band was deactivated in the 1960s and remained inactive until \n the late 1970s when it was re-activated as the 44th Army Band. In 2011, the band deployed a team \n to Kosovo, where they performed over 60 missions in five months.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.488351,"width":0.764928,"height":0.15963100000000008}},{"text":"Today, the 44th Army Band performs in support of military, civic, and diplomatic events across \n the state of New Mexico.
